How to Paint Gearboxes: Seal Protection Tips

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:40:39-06:00February 3rd, 2021|DieQua News, Educational, Product Focus, Videos|

Painting industrial gearboxes is essential for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, but if done improperly, it can compromise a critical component—the shaft seal. Seal failure due to overspray or improper preparation can lead to gearbox oil leaks, contamination, or premature wear that puts your entire system at risk. How can you avoid seal damage when painting a gearbox? This short video from DieQua outlines best practices for painting gearboxes while ensuring seal protection. You’ll learn how to mask critical areas properly, the importance of avoiding direct paint contact with seals, and tips to maintain long-term [...]

WATCH WEBINAR: Selecting and Sizing Screwjacks

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:40:39-06:00October 14th, 2020|DieQua News, Educational, Product Focus, Webinar|

This electromechanical design webinar focused on selecting and sizing screwjacks in order to replace hydraulic lifting systems. 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. Watch how we address this need with this screw jack webinar video. When making this changeover to screw jack applications, a number [...]

Food Industry Gearboxes: Solutions for Mixers

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:42:20-06:00March 21st, 2018|Application Examples, Product Focus|

Mixing and agitating applications pose demanding challenges for food industry gearboxes. Not only do speeds and loads vary significantly, but they also operate under harsh environmental conditions. Consequently, high-quality components, robust designs, and specialized protective features are essential. We had a customer approach us with a challenge: they needed a robust industrial mixer gearbox capable of converting food solids into semi-liquids, suitable for products like spreads, cheese dips, ice cream, and pie filling. The requirements included two mixer sizes with capacities of 20 and 50 horsepower, operating at a full motor speed of 1750 rpm. [...]

Spinea Cycloidal Units

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:41:10-06:00September 19th, 2017|Application Examples, Product Focus|

The benefits of zero backlash, high torsional rigidity, high tilting capacity, and compact size enable most industrial robots to perform precise pick-and-place tasks. But it isn’t just robots that need these benefits. Devices as large as machine tools and as small as optical systems need the features that both flex spline and cycloidal gear designs offer in one way or another. While there are a couple of significant players supplying these types of drives, Spinea’s unique cycloidal gear design provides distinct advantages over the competition. For one, the torque density is unmatched providing more capacity [...]

Screw Jack Installation: Troubleshooting Alignment Problems

Jeff Gibbons2025-11-12T20:41:10-06:00September 14th, 2017|Application Examples, Product Focus|

Screw jacks are just one member of the linear motion family, more suitable for relatively low duty cycles. A customer had a noise and wear problem we had to troubleshoot. It highlighted what not to do. There are two common types of screw jacks. Ball screw jacks have recirculating balls in the threads that reduce friction, and machine, or acme thread, screwjacks have a sliding action similar to a nut and bolt. Ball screws allow more duty cycles, and machine screws allow less. Within these screw jack types, there are two versions. What we call [...]
