Spline Shaft Gearboxes Synchronize Motion

By Alex Malamos|2024-04-13T02:15:47-05:00October 20th, 2018|Application Examples|

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 [...]

This Customized Gearbox Saved Both Time and Money

By Alex Malamos|2022-06-07T12:19:53-05:00September 5th, 2018|Application Examples|

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 [...]

Roller Drive and Gap Control

By Alex Malamos|2023-12-12T19:40:27-06:00July 26th, 2018|Application Examples, Educational|

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 [...]

A Concrete Example of Motion Control Benefits

By Alex Malamos|2021-09-23T17:05:24-05:00July 24th, 2018|Application Examples|

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 [...]

Servos Get Up to Speed

By Alex Malamos|2023-08-07T19:11:28-05:00July 16th, 2018|Application Examples|

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 [...]

Input Coupling Improves Worm Performance

By Alex Malamos|2021-11-04T14:10:27-05:00June 6th, 2018|Application Examples|

Worm gear speed reducers are used in a variety of applications because of the many advantages they offer. These include a compact design, with high ratios possible in a single stage, a right angle configuration that allows for shaft mounting and tucking the motor up next to the machine frame, and a relatively low cost compared to other gear technologies. They do have certain disadvantages, however, as they are relatively inefficient, and even more so when run slowly or started and stopped frequently. It's the give and take of these characteristics that determine if [...]

Custom Gearbox Helps Control The Flow Of Oil

By Alex Malamos|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 [...]
