Mount Gearheads Vertically

2026-03-31T08:54:46-05:00October 15th, 2025|Application Examples, Educational|

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 [...]

Gearbox Drives 4 Axes At The Same Time

Because of the wide range of gearbox products we have in our product line up we often get calls with some strange requests. Well, they may seem strange to most gearbox suppliers since they usually only offer run-of-the-mill solutions. But for us, the unusual gearbox applications seem to be more the norm these days. We recently received a call from a customer who was looking for a way to drive 4 sets of rollers with a single power source. These rollers were set 90 degrees apart and were intended to rotate a load that was [...]

Gearheads For High Cycle Applications

The myth of the paperless society has long ago been debunked. It’s very possible that the use of paper, for many requirements, has actually increased over the last several years. With the acceleration in computer power, more reports, spitting out a variety of information, can be generated faster and in more detail. And now that almost every household has a personal computer with a desktop printer, the demand for printer and copier paper continues to grow. Typical machine designs for the making and wrapping of reams of paper previously included a lot of cams and [...]

Corrosion Protection Option for a Wash Down Application

2026-08-12T09:56:39-05:00March 3rd, 2021|Application Examples|

In food packaging and processing machinery, component cleanliness and corrosion resistance are critical. However, full stainless steel isn't always required to meet hygiene and durability standards. For many washdown environments, hybrid corrosion protection offers an effective alternative at a fraction of the cost. Here is how machine builders and plant engineers can evaluate washdown requirements, select appropriate component treatments, and optimize gearbox performance without overspending. 1. Evaluating Washdown Risk: Full Stainless vs. Hybrid ProtectionBefore specifying a gearbox, assess where the drive components sit relative to product zone exposure:Direct Food Contact / Primary Washdown Zone: Requires [...]

Transfer System Drive Put On The Spot

2025-11-12T20:40:39-06:00January 6th, 2021|Application Examples|

With more and more labor-intensive operations moving offshore, the ability to automate the manufacturing process is critical for keeping operating costs in check, allowing North American companies to remain competitive in worldwide markets. This has drastically escalated the importance and influence of the entire motion control industry. In that vein, a customer of ours was designing a transfer system to automatically feed castings into a machining center and needed a motion control solution. The basic system included a large rotary table and two opposing robots to load and unload the table. The need was for [...]
