Custom Gearbox Helps Control The Flow Of Oil

By |2021-09-02T15:31:55-05:00May 30th, 2018|Application Examples|

Oil, especially across the heartland of America, continues to be a hot topic. We were recently involved in a project to provide safe control of the flow. A Canadian oil and gas pipeline valve manufacturer presented us with a challenge to produce a right angle gearbox to manually actuate a pipeline valve. They had been originally building these gearboxes themselves. But as larger oil flow control valves were being introduced, they preferred to find a supplier to eliminate using internal resources and to reduce component costs. Before approaching us, they had difficulty finding a [...]

A Gearbox Supplier’s Expertise is Key in Helping with Spec Solutions

By |2023-07-17T13:42:01-05:00May 16th, 2018|Application Examples|

There is almost nothing better than to get an inquiry from a new prospect that saw one of our advertisements or product announcements or found us somewhere on the web during a normal search. It means our promotions were working, our message was read loud and clear, and there was someone actively looking to use one of our gearboxes, zero-backlash couplings, or screw jacks. It gets better when the prospect has checked out the catalog, done his research, and selected a specific model that he wants to discuss or to get a quotation. Unfortunately, [...]

Baked Gearbox

By |2023-04-17T17:42:07-05:00May 9th, 2018|Application Examples|

With Summer’s heat approaching, it’s time to discuss an extreme environment application. High-temperature engineering solutions are required in many industries. A customer recently came to us with an application for operating a painting fixture. The fixture was to hold aircraft parts for the U.S. Air Force. The basic design called for an inline helical speed reducer that would drive, what amounted to, a rotisserie device that would slowly rotate the part so that all surfaces were easily accessible. While it was relatively a straightforward application, there were some critical caveats. The first was a [...]

A Quick Connection Improves Efficiency

By |2024-05-22T14:09:02-05:00May 2nd, 2018|Application Examples|

Short-run printing and automated machining require solutions for quick tool changes to achieve customized production efficiently. Two different applications use the same design concept to solve this problem. In the first application, a manufacturer of printing presses was looking for a quick-connect device to speed up cylinder changes. With short-run printing becoming the norm, print cylinder changeover was eating up a lot of production time. In the past, a transfer gear was installed on the cylinder shaft journal. However, because of a gear error, some motion variations were created. The new design was to [...]
