In 2017, DieQua decided rather than send out Holiday Cards, to instead participate in bike building for Toys for Tots. We had such a wonderful time and together with our friends from WAV Wireless, we touched the lives of 500 children. 2018 is now the second year that DieQua worked with WAV and other volunteers - to help build 500 bikes.

DieQua Corporation held the 11th annual sales meeting between October 17 and October 19. The sales meeting was held at the Hotel Baker, in St. Charles, IL. Approximately 22 sales representatives from the four corners of the United Sates attended to engage in product education, professional development and team building. The event kicked off Wednesday evening with a welcome reception at Hotel Baker. As the representatives arrived, they were greeted by DieQua’s sales support staff and treated to a light dinner buffet. This atmosphere provided an opportunity for the field personnel [...]
There are a lot of applications where timing the rotation of two elements is required and many of these have one or more of the elements that must physically move position. Examples are coating lines where applicator gap control is necessary, packaging lines where package heights vary, roll formers or die cutters where material thicknesses vary, and machines that require an element to retract for cleaning or set up, among others. We had a customer that recently approached us with such an application. He wanted to drive two rollers with a single drive. One [...]
Fall has arrived, and that means it will be getting darker earlier. This is one of many reasons why having a flashlight is important. Send an active application that we can discuss with you, and you can receive a free flashlight. *US only. Due to shipping costs, we can only send flashlight to United States residents.
From September 10 to 15, DieQua was present at the IMTS show in Chicago. DieQua joined two suppliers - Spinea and Sesame - to show off products ranging from servo gearheads available from DieQua through Sesame to Spinea's line of cycloidal units offered by DieQua. This year's show broke attendance records. The next IMTS show will take place in 2020.
With this gearbox lube infographic, you can see some examples of what types of lubricants can be used in both colder and warmer operation temperature applications. This general guide is not meant to provide a solution to every unique application. Seek a DieQua application engineer for your specific needs.
Many machine designers look to use standard components with the idea of saving time and money. But quite often a customized solution can do a better job of achieving both. We had a customer using a larger than necessary helical bevel speed reducer because of the requirement of a large output bore. They needed to drive a cooling drum in a plastic extrusion application. In addition to the driving torque, they had to feed a water line through the drum shaft journal to circulate water for the cooling process. To accommodate the water line a [...]

Providing production flexibility in machinery design, to manufacture or process different product sizes for example, is becoming more of a necessity with today’s desire for shorter runs and quicker deliveries. With our consultative approach and some unique capabilities, we were able to help a recent customer achieve the flexibility he needed. A prospect recently contacted us with interest in our spiral bevel gearboxes with hollow output shaft. His task was to feed material through two counter rotating drums or rollers. The kicker was that different material sizes where required, meaning the center distance between [...]
The infrastructure and building construction industry is vital to the growth of a dynamic economy. Commercial building and bridge support structures are one element of these industries. Concrete continues to play an important role as a primary material resource. The development of improved manufacturing and converting methods, for standard and custom structural building products, is an ongoing endeavor. Especially now when the construction industry faces such big challenges to provide cost effective structures with adequate ROI. A customer recently approached us with a design challenge to assist them in improving the automation of their [...]
For many products, the package can cost more than the contents inside. Considering the competition for shelf space and consumer attention, package quality is important in marketing the product. To assemble the package properly, it has to be cut to the right length. That was the challenge. A customer of ours was developing a new cutoff machine design for use at the end of a package printing line. The paperboard stock was printed, creased, and die cut, then had to be cut off to the proper length for quality folding and assembly. Tolerances for [...]
Between July 10 and July 12, DieQua hosted a 2nd DieQua Technical Institute of 2018. These sessions - known as DTI for short - are held two to three times a year. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about products and ask questions. Every year, DieQua seeks to enlighten and educate distributors on the vast array of potential solutions. DTI is a two-day training class covering the analytical process of identifying the characteristics of a power transmission or motion control application and selecting the proper gear product to satisfy the requirements. [...]
