... as exemplified by an electric injection molding machine Multi-axial, electrical drives are used extensively, whether for robot applications, electric injection molding machines or machine tools. Up to now, in practice these tasks were dealt with by a number of parallel, single-axis modules or multi-axial systems. However, as the following example of an electrically-powered injection molding...

Ogura has produced a new model of an electromagnetic brake. The new model is called MCB5. The new brake delivers the same amount of torque 4.5 in. lb. as the previous AMB5 but does so at a 20% smaller diameter and a 24% smaller overall width. The new brake comes standard with a 24 volt coil but other coil voltages are available. Standard speed capability is 3600 RPM but higher speeds are possib...

The N-380 series of linear actuators from Physik Instrumente (PI) is venturing into a new performance class for linear drives, providing high forces to 10 N and speeds of approx. 10 mm/s at resolutions of 20 nanometers (closed-loop). A NEXACT® piezo walking drive replaces conventional stepper-motors or DC servo-motors providing several advantages. Due to the direct linear drive, there is no loss o...

Friction Technology Ltd has developed M522 friction material specifically for use on Wind Turbine and other heavy duty industrial applications.

Since the mid-nineties, the operating demands on universal joint shafts have risen significantly. In order to counteract the associated higher wear in the bearings, Voith Turbo has developed a high-performance lubricant. “Voith WearCare 500” – so the product name – has proven itself over three years in a field test and has shown that the service life of universal joint shafts operating in extreme c...

This new product is very hard to hear! The low noise coaxial-drive (Koaxdrive) KD 32 planetary gearhead from maxon motor is setting new standards in operating noise and torque levels. Measuring 32 mm in diameter and with a torque of 6.5 Nm, it is ideal for use in noise-sensitive, highly demanding applications. The new Koaxdrive KD 32 combines the best of two proven gearing technologies, namely w...

POWERISE - PR D10 and PR D20 Who does not enjoy reading in bed with the head section tilted up? Or putting up one’s feet in bed after a hard day? Premium beds offer individual adjustment options for their slatted bed frames — allowing total relaxation. With the PR D10 and PR D20 electric dual drives from Stabilus, head and foot sections can be brought into position easily, gently, and safely...

“Effective heat dissipation in clutches and brakes ensures reliability and a longer wear life, whilst allowing cost reductions from optimised sizing.” There are many deciding factors to consider when choosing a brake or clutch; heat dissipation being one of the most critical. In this article, Tony Griggs of Wichita Clutch offers some major pointers to guide you through the decision making process...

Competence in the power transmission since 1946. For more than 60 years REICH-KUPPLUNGEN in Bochum has provided besides other products an extensive program of torsionally fl exible couplings. A focal point and essential quality factor is our in-house development and manufacturing of the uti-lized elastomeric elements. All components of the couplings are being manuf-actured on the most modern prod...
