Torsion was the Culprit: Gearbox Problems and Solutions

By Alex Malamos|2024-01-03T01:11:23-06:00April 25th, 2018|Application Examples|

Backlash, torsion, and transmission error are all gearbox problems that can contribute to lost motion in a drive system that includes mechanical components. But this doesn’t mean you should eliminate these components, as the mechanical advantages of their use are significant. They just need to be monitored, analyzed and controlled. A customer came to us with a gearbox problem that looked to include lost motion as one of the symptoms. This customer produced a line of packaging assembly machines, one series of which put tops on containers. Their typical drive design wasn’t working on [...]

Know When to Fold ‘Em

By Alex Malamos|2021-10-05T16:04:44-05:00April 18th, 2018|Application Examples|

Servo systems aren’t the only solution for precision motion control applications. Other gear products can fit the bill when more traditional drive technology is desired. We recently had a customer inquire into a solution for a motion control problem he had in his production of precision bellows. The design was a continuous process of feeding a substrate that was systematically folded and then cut off into either standard or custom lengths. His problem was that the material length between folds was inconsistent, which affected the proper compression of the bellow. He was presently trying to use [...]

Outside The Box

By Alex Malamos|2022-03-17T12:14:05-05:00April 11th, 2018|Application Examples|

Have you ever had special gearbox applications where the standard catalog specs just didn’t fulfill the need? Perhaps you had to run too fast or had too much torque, or just not enough space for either? Catalog data is not always relevant. There are a lot of industrial and commercial gearbox applications, and even more in motion control, where comparing catalog performance data just doesn’t provide the correct solution. Why is this? Well, catalog data cannot be calculated for all the potential applications, duty cycles, speed, temperatures, and environments that a particular gearbox may [...]

Turning the Tables

By Alex Malamos|2022-08-18T17:16:12-05:00April 9th, 2018|Application Examples|

There are many process and manufacturing operations that consist of multiple steps. In many cases, the process is linear like a progressive punch press or an auto assembly line. But just as often it’s circular, like a bottle filling line or a CNC tool holder. For circular applications, the use of rotary tables is often incorporated. In its standard form, a rotary table is a flat round plate mounted on an axial bearing, which is either driven from a central shaft from below or by a pinion driving a bull gear mounted around the [...]
