Reciprocating Motion Without Servos

By Alex Malamos|2024-07-17T06:16:13-05:00September 26th, 2017|Application Examples|

Shaft-phasing gearboxes can be used for more than just registration and timing applications. In this example, the customer discovered a unique application for shaft-phasing gearboxes, using their dual input gear drive design to achieve reciprocating motion, beyond traditional registration and timing applications. Shaft-phasing gearboxes go by a variety of names - including speed correction drives and timing differentials. The differential moniker came from the original bevel gear designs, with side spider gears, that could be rotated with or against the direction of the main drive gears. This had the effect of speeding up or [...]

Spinea Cycloidal Units

By Alex Malamos|2024-05-24T23:55:45-05:00September 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.

By Alex Malamos|2023-10-18T19:40:54-05:00September 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 [...]
