RW America Length and Phase EZV Series Adjusting Line Shafts
Length & Phase EZV Series Line Shafts R+W America

A convenient location for manual phase adjustment along a mechanical drive system is now available in the EZV series adjustable line shafts. Making use of a high strength intermediate collar between two telescoping sections of precision tubing, the EZV naturally places the location for phase adjustment in an easily accessible, open space. Due to the relatively large outside diameter of the drive tubing, the EZV also provides for a more secure clamping connection than would exist when clamping over standard diameter motor and gearbox shafts ...More >>

Floating Shaft CD Couplings Span Long Distances Between Shaft Ends
- While Providing Zero System Backlash – Custom Designs Available For Challenging Applications

Plymouth, Minnesota: Zero-Max Floating Shaft CD® Couplings provide system designers with a torsionally stiff, no backlash option for connecting long distances between shaft ends. Providing superior misalignment capacity, Floating Shaft CD Couplings can often be a zero-backlash alternative to Cardan Shafts. The unique flex element made of composite material makes it possible to have zero-backlash, high torsional stiffness and very low bearing loads all at the same time. This is because the composite material is designed to be flexible in one plane and stiff in another plane. Composite material is not prone to fatigue and will perform much longer than stainless steel.

Servo Torque Limiter offered by R+W America
Servo Torque Limiter by RW America

Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs very rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load.

R+W servo-rated torque limiters are accurate to +/-5% release torque and positively disengage the motor or gearbox shaft in 1-3 milliseconds. Patented pre-loads and a specially designed spring system remove backlash and guarantee a very low profile for higher release torques. ...More >>

New geared slewing rings for all environments
PRT Geared Slewing Ring by igus

igus® has added a new geared slewing ring bearing to its line of cost effective, low noise iglide® "PRT" modules. Geared PRT slewing rings are extremely cost-effective and can be used in place of expensive ball bearings or rolling elements in many applications. igus' standard PRT slewing rings use self-lubricating, low friction polymer sliding elements in place of ball bearings. The geared version is set apart by the addition of a sprocket and a toothed system to drive the slewing ring.

Geared PRT slewing rings do not require any lubrication, which saves time and reduces maintenance. A toothed belt can be mounted on either the inner or outer ring of the bearing, depending on the type of drive configuration required. The unique design makes the geared module ready to install, which enables design engineers to cut costs and decrease supply base and lead times. ...More >>

Modular Bearing System from NKE for Planetary Wind Turbine Gearboxes
Modular Bearing System from NKE Austrian bearing specialist NKE Austria has developed a modular bearing system for planetary gears in wind turbine gearboxes. The new bearing assemblies offer the advantages of a standardisation of the bearings used in this application, a reduced diversity of parts and simplified logistics. The system is already in use in the 1.5 MW, 2 MW and 2.5 MW wind turbine gearboxes of a well-known German gearbox manufacturer.

Most wind turbines use gearboxes to transform the relatively low rotational speed of the main shaft into higher speeds required for power generation. Because the forces a modern wind turbine gearbox has to transmit are forever increasing while the gearbox itself has to remain compact, single- or two-stage planetary gearboxes are commonly used. The bearings of the planetary gears are among the highest-loaded in this specific application. In modern gearboxes an integrated planetary bearing arrangement is used, in which cylindrical roller bearings without an outer ring are fitted in the planetary gears, with the bore of the gear forming the outer raceway. ...More >>

Parker Releases Low-Cost Connector Option
Parker Electromechanical Automation ConnectorParker's Electromechanical Automation Division, a leading supplier of motion control technology, is pleased to announce release of a low-cost connector option.

Historically, Parker has produced robust servo motor products for the general automation market. These motors could stand up to shock loads, environmental temperature cycles, moisture and more. All connectors and mating cables had large metal connector housings, which are meant for superior noise immunity. Unfortunately, these connectors have been large - at least relative to a smaller servo motor - and they are expensive.

Since not all applications need to have these large connectors, Parker has released a standard low-cost connector option for the BE and SM motor families. The "LC" option uses an AMP or Tyco brand connector for both motor and feedback connectors. Previously, a low-cost connector would have flowed through our custom motor process. Having a standard LC option saves time and money.

Zero-Max Wind Turbine Couplings Withstand 70,000 Nm Of Torque - Passed Hell Hole Test At Tehachapi, California Wind Farm
Wind Turbine Couplings by Zero-Max

Zero-Max, Inc., an ISO 9001 certified design and manufacturing company, announces introduction of its Composite Disc Couplings for the wind turbine industry.

"These couplings withstand extreme misalignment while remaining torsionally stiff and have passed the ‘hell hole' test at Tehachapi, California Wind Farm," reports James Motz, member of the Wind Team for Zero-Max.

"The couplings were tested under conditions simulating a 20 year load spectrum of continuous operation. Once fatigue tested, the ‘hell hole' location was selected for field testing in a wind turbine whereby the coupling would experience wind conditions in excess of 80 mph with continuous wind direction changes. The Zero-Max couplings survived these conditions that put over 50 wind turbines not using our coupling out of commission. The Zero-Max coupling continues to operate uninterrupted at this writing," Mr. Motz added. ...More >>

High-reliability Gearboxes and Bearings cut Conveyor Maintenance and Energy Costs at Aggregates Quarry
Dodge Gearboxes and Bearings from Baldor

Conveyor uptime has increased dramatically at Corcoran Concrete's quarry in County Mayo, following a switch to Dodge-brand gearboxes and bearings from Baldor.  The decision was made following trials on conveyors in the sand production area of the quarry. Here, bearings were failing as often as three times a year, and the gearboxes typically lasted only 12 months. In some cases, a bearing failure also meant changing the gearbox as well, as it had to be removed by force - sustaining damage in the process. In these cases, the material costs were dwarfed by the day's downtime needed for the repair. ...More >>
