For decades, hydraulics and pneumatics have been the default choice for heavy-duty industrial motion control. But in modern manufacturing environments, traditional fluid power introduces significant operational liabilities.
Packaging applications place immense radial loads on your system. Standard planetary gearheads force you to upsize—adding unwanted weight, space, and noise in addition to inaccuracy. DieQua's PHCH Premium Planetary Servo Gearhead delivers maximum overhung load capabilities within a highly compact, high torque, accurate, and quiet drop-in component. The High-Load Challenge in Packaging Applications Packaging OEMs face demanding operating conditions that rapidly degrade standard components: High Radial Stress: Heavy belt-and-pulley systems and direct-drive mechanisms place constant bending stress on the output shaft. Continuous Washdowns: Exposure to harsh cleaning agents requires robust environmental sealing. Acoustic Restraints: [...]
The Most Overlooked Component in Industrial Automation The Hidden Bottleneck in High-Performance Motion Systems What’s really driving performance in your automation designs—and what’s holding them back? This white paper uncovers a commonly overlooked component that plays a critical role in system reliability, efficiency, and long-term scalability. Inside, you’ll learn: How this overlooked element impacts system performance Which components are most at-risk of failure and are often blamed for performance issues Practical strategies to optimize your designs and avoid costly oversights If you’re looking to build more robust, future-ready automation systems, [...]
Third-Party Repair Shops Cannot Replicate Factory-Built Specifications A gearbox failure causes enormous stress when your company depends on an operational production line. Every minute your facility is down from a motion control or power transmission unit costs money. During your search for an expedited fix, you have likely encountered third-party repair shops aggressively advertising alternative repair services. Many of these shops claim they can fully rebuild, service, or even "reverse-engineer" high-precision gearboxes at a fraction of the cost and time. They may boast about duplicating gear profiles, matching surface hardness, or offering [...]
Overcoming the Limitations of Standard Tank Mixers Industrial mixers are designed to dissolve, disperse, and hydrate dry ingredients into liquids—particularly for demanding dairy, food, and beverage applications. The heart of many of these industrial mixers is the gearbox. However, most "off-the-shelf" commodity gearboxes are simply not designed to handle the unique mechanical stresses of high-volume tank processing. DieQua was tasked with a project to re-engineer a standard mixer drive, focusing directly on the common failure points that plague maintenance teams: noise, vibration, and seal integrity.

How to Size and Select Screw Jacks Designing reliable linear motion systems requires precision. Whether you are deciding between translating or rotating configurations or weighing the benefits of Acme vs. Ball Screw spindles, selecting the wrong component can lead to premature wear or system failure. This comprehensive white paper simplifies the screw jack sizing procedure into seven manageable steps. We cover critical calculations, including: Load requirements and safety factors. Duty cycle considerations for thermal limits. Travel speeds and input power requirements. Plus, see these principles in action with a [...]
Which industries benefit from worm gearheads over planetary gearheads? See where servo worm gearheads commonly improve accuracy, reduce footprint, and extend service life in demanding motion systems—across packaging, robotics, medical automation, cleanroom tools, and conveyors.
Often times we see customers mount servo gearheads like SESAME incorrectly. In many instances, the first reaction is to mount horizontally, but this is not a good practice. It is essential when installing a gearbox, to do it vertically instead of horizontally. This video explains why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfOF3fve4-k
Home improvements, and especially kitchen renovations, are hot topics in lifestyle TV shows and magazines. The focal point of most family's homes is the kitchen. Selection for the countertop is a big decision. There are natural materials, laminates, and solid man-made options. DieQua was called upon to help in the design of a machine to manufacture solid counter top material, one of the more popular choices due to it's wear and maintenance characteristics. The design was complex, but used a concept that is relevant in a variety of extrusion and rolling forming applications. The idea [...]
