When your equipment calls for a right angle gearbox, proper sizing makes a difference. A wide range of application factors must be considered, or you will face problems down the road. This blog post will provide an overview of three important criteria to consider before sizing your gearbox: target speed, output torque and service factor. …
Our KRP0 rack and pinion is one of the strongest reducers on the market. This video will demonstrate the KRP0’s mounting versatility and universal transmission capabilities plus its other features and benefits.
When your equipment calls for a right angle gearbox, proper sizing makes a difference. It’s important to consider many application factors, or you’ll face problems down the road. Possible problems can include increased maintenance, worn teeth and reduced mean time between failure (MTBF). Additionally, an oversized gearbox will cost more than necessary. Our new white …
Backlash is not an option when building advanced composite machines that demand precise, high-speed motion. Failure to prevent backlash can hinder motion accuracy and damage the machine or the finished part. In a previous blog post, we described how you can combine Redex gearboxes to build preloaded drive systems with exceptional stiffness using SRP Series …
Implementing the right gearboxes for machining and automatic fiber placement of composite materials is no easy task. Torsional, radial and axial stiffness (i.e., stiffness on rack) are important factors that can affect the positioning accuracy of heavy-duty robotic axes. However, when laying up fiber, quick load reversals during linear or rotary motion can create vibrations, …
Redex will unveil its latest generation of high-precision planetary reducers, built around its new EVO 1 (Evolution 1) technology, during IMTS 2022 at Booth 236016. Developed with machine tool performance in mind, EVO 1 is a new approach to driving machine tool axes. The EVO 1 mechanical gearing system approaches the performance of a linear …

Russia-Ukraine Conflict We are currently experiencing supply chain issues from our steel and aluminum sources in Europe. We ask for your patience …
When a machine design calls for a brake or clutch to deliver fast and accurate torque control, magnetic particle technology offers high torque output, precise adjustment and simplicity. This combination of features makes magnetic particle brakes (MPB) and clutches desirable for tension control in converting, winding and cable operations, while their simplicity makes them suitable …
Few rivers are as important to worldwide commerce as the Rhine. With headwaters in Switzerland’s Alps, it forms parts of the Swiss-Liechtenstein, Swiss-Austrian and Franco-German borders on its way through the Netherlands to the sea, making it one of Europe’s main transportation routes. One utility company operates power plants — as well as their associated …
When you need a space-saving, angular gearbox, it can be difficult to find a unit that meets your exact and even unique requirements and to receive it promptly. In demanding operations where uptime is everything, it’s critical to work with a supplier that can deliver quality standard right-angle gearboxes tailored to your application — and …
