Servo Worm Gearheads from DieQua

By Alex Malamos|2020-05-22T15:20:32-05:00January 3rd, 2022|Industry News, Product Focus, Videos|

While most servo applications use inline gear heads, many can benefit from right angle configuration. It allows the motor to be tucked in next to the machine frame, instead of sticking out in the aisle. When talking most gearhead suppliers, all they have to offer is the typical two-stage bevel and planetary design. While that is a good selection in some instances - after all, we offer them too - they are just more expensive than some want to pay. Take a look at our servo worm. It can offer lower backlash in a [...]

VIDEO: Low Ratio Right Angle Servo Gearbox

By Alex Malamos|2022-07-21T11:24:18-05:00July 14th, 2021|Fact Card, Product Focus, Videos|

This video shows the many options of Low-Ratio Right-Angle Servo Gearboxes, as well as their advantages for motion control applications. From 1 to 1 right-angle gearboxes and more, these models are single-stage spiral bevel designs with ground gears for precise rotary motion, very accurate repeatability, and low backlash. These low-ratio right-angle gearboxes are available in 6 sizes with ratios from 1:1 to 5:1. Output shaft options for these right-angle drives include single and dual shafts, hollow bore with shrink disc, and hollow bore with keyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xspKt5aWgKc

WATCH WEBINAR: Selecting and Sizing Screwjacks

By Alex Malamos|2023-04-07T18:07:25-05:00October 14th, 2020|DieQua News, Educational, Product Focus, Webinar|

This electromechanical design webinar focused on selecting and sizing screwjacks in order to replace hydraulic lifting systems. There is a widespread push in North America to replace hydraulic lifting systems with Electromechanical systems. This trend has been going on for many years in Europe and is now really taking hold in North America. Many engineers are now tasked with the job of eliminating environmentally unfriendly hydraulic oil with systems that are purely electromechanical. Watch how we address this need with this screw jack webinar video. When making this changeover to screw jack applications, a [...]

Food Industry Gearboxes: Solutions for Mixers

By Alex Malamos|2024-02-05T20:50:48-06:00March 21st, 2018|Application Examples, Product Focus|

Mixing and agitating applications can provide some of the most demanding requirements for food industry gearboxes. Not only can speeds and loads vary dramatically, but environmental conditions can be difficult as well. High-quality components, robust designs, and protection options are often necessary. We had a customer provide us with an opportunity for a mixer gearbox application that turned food solids into semi-liquids. Typical products could include spreads, cheese dips, ice cream, and pie filling. The specifications were for two industrial food mixer sizes that included 20 and 50 horsepower capacities operating at a full [...]

Spinea Cycloidal Units

By Alex Malamos|2021-07-15T17:48:16-05:00September 19th, 2017|Application Examples, Product Focus|

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 [...]

Screw Jack Installation: Troubleshooting Alignment Problems

By Alex Malamos|2023-10-18T19:40:54-05:00September 14th, 2017|Application Examples, Product Focus|

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 [...]
