Replacing HYDRAULIC lifting systems with ELECTROMECHANICAL systems

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:43:35-06:00April 22nd, 2019|Application Examples|

There is a widespread push in North America to replace hydraulic lifting systems with electromechanical systems. This trend has been going on for many years in Europe and is now really taking hold in North America. Many engineers are now tasked with the job of eliminating environmentally unfriendly hydraulic oil with systems that are purely electromechanical. When making this changeover, a number of important factors need to be considered to make sure the new design will work properly, efficiently, and reliably over the life of the system. This webinar allowed engineers to [...]

Operate In High Temperature Environment

Customers often call saying they need a gearbox but tell us the application is secret. It's understandable that privacy can be a concern. But it's equally important that your supplier really knows what is going on. A customer of ours approached us asking for a spiral bevel gearbox that was to be used in a high-temperature environment. They gave us no other information other than the torque required, that all shafts would be mounted horizontal, the speed would be under 100 rpm, and that it had to operate in a high temp environment of 180 [...]

There are a lot of industrial applications for gear products in harsh environments with not a lot of sources for them. Some of those gearbox applications require operating underwater. I’d say that’s pretty harsh. But it’s something we’ve been able to offer in a number of instances. A customer recently approached us with an engineering request for a gearbox to be used in a wastewater treatment plant. We had done other applications for this customer, but this gearbox had to be able to operate underwater. They were designing an agitation system, which in this [...]

Send an active application that we can discuss with you, and you can receive a free flashlight. *US only. Due to shipping costs, we can only send flashlight to United States residents.

This Customized Gearbox Saved Both Time and Money

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 larger [...]

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 the [...]

A Concrete Example of Motion Control Benefits

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 concrete [...]

Servos Get Up to Speed

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 these [...]
