DieQua Technical Institute – July 2018

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.

Input Coupling Improves Worm Performance

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 a [...]

Custom Gearbox Helps Control The Flow Of Oil

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 supplier [...]

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

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, that [...]

Baked Gearbox

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 requirement [...]

A Quick Connection Improves Efficiency

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 include [...]
