Shaft phasing gearboxes can be used for more than just registration and timing applications. In this example, this customer found a unique solution by incorporating this dual input gear drive design to reciprocating motion. Shaft phasing gearboxes go by a variety of names - including speed correction drives and timing differentials. The differential moniker came from the original bevel gear designs, with side spider gears, that could be rotated with or against the direction of the main drive gears. This had the effect of speeding up or slowing down the gearbox output speed relative [...]
The name John Madden may be familiar if you follow professional football. He was the long-time commentator on Monday Night Football (now Sunday nights) who traveled everywhere by bus. The rumor was he was afraid of flying. No, this is not an article about John Madden. But it is an article about a bus. Mr. Madden is not the only one that rides in modified tour buses. Band crews, racing crews, and a variety of other groups that travel a circuit use modified buses to provide comfort and cost-effective movement from city to city. [...]
The benefits of zero backlash, high torsional rigidity, high tilting capacity and compact size are what allow most industrial robots to do what they do, which is to pick and place things very precisely. But it isn’t just robots that need these benefits. Devices as large as machine tools and as small as optical systems need the features that both flex spline and cycloidal gear designs offer in one way or another. While there are a couple significant players supplying these types of drives, the Spinea’s unique cycloidal gear design provides distinct advantages over [...]
Maintenance Tips and Mistakes to Avoid DieQua offers tips for installing, operating, and maintaining gearboxes. Below, we discuss common gearbox maintenance mistakes and how to avoid them. Specifically, our tips include both the error and the preventative measures in each of these scenarios so you can best learn how to maintain a gearbox. Tip 7 - Correctly Mount Servo Gearhead Mounting the gearhead horizontally is incorrect, as it allows for the increasing of some loads associated with lateral misalignment in this orientation, which shortens the life of [...]
Screw jacks are just one member of the linear motion family, more suitable for relatively low duty cycles. A customer had a noise and wear problem we had to troubleshoot. It highlighted what not to do. There are two common types of screw jacks. Ball screw jacks have recirculating balls in the threads that reduce friction, and machine, or acme thread, screwjacks have a sliding action similar to a nut and bolt. Ball screws allow more duty cycles, and machine screws allow less. Within these screw jack types, there are two versions. What we [...]
