This video provides an overview of the Tandler spiral bevel gearbox types available from DieQua Corporation and highlights application examples where they are best used. Other common names for these gearboxes are spiral bevel gear units, bevel gearboxes, 90-degree gearboxes, miter gear boxes, right-angle gearboxes, right-angle gear reducers, bevel speed reducers, and torque multipliers. Diequa offers the widest range of spiral bevel gearbox models, ratios, and options. We also have special gearbox designs available. Many are highlighted in this video and the technical spec pages on our website. The variety of options along with [...]
Installing some type of torque limiting device in your machine system is very often a wise idea. This is especially true where there is human interaction, but it’s also smart to include them in other types of processing equipment. A common objection to designing them into standard machine designs is that they sometimes cost more than the components they are thought to protect. But that’s really a secondary consideration. The prime reason to add them to machine designs is to eliminate the downtime associated with removing damaged components, finding replacements, and installing new ones. [...]

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
IEC vs. NEMA Motors A large percentage of our customers produce their machinery for both the North American domestic market as well as for the various export markets of Europe, Asia, and South America. This often causes a design issue as power sources are different from market to market. Different motors should be specified to optimize the design, which then alters the gearboxes used with them. Most of our gear products have a solution for that complexity. Here is an example of one of those gearbox products when it came to IEC vs. NEMA [...]
From April 8-11, 2019, DieQua participated in the Automate show in Chicago. Automate showcases the full spectrum of automation technologies and solutions.

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 [...]
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 a 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 [...]

In 2017, DieQua decided rather than send out Holiday Cards, to instead participate in bike building for Toys for Tots. We had such a wonderful time and together with our friends from WAV Wireless, we touched the lives of 500 children. 2018 is now the second year that DieQua worked with WAV and other volunteers - to help build 500 bikes.
DieQua attended the Waves of Innovations event in Frisco, Texas on November 13, 2018. This event was hosted by Olympus Controls. Waves of Innovations allowed companies to demo their newest technologies. Attendees were able to find products they were interested in from several different exhibitors. DieQua showed several products - including speed reducers and precision & economical servo gearheads.
