Munn and Bruce Bradley have been integral to the growth of Redex into a trusted name in quality unique gearboxes and solutions. Michael G. Munn Our longtime President Michael G. …
Although rack and pinion is a very well-established technology with a longstanding design, there’s a wide range of differences among products. When implementing a rack and pinion component for your application, you must account for many factors before making your selection. Examples include size, quality number, materials used, the types of gears, contact ratio and …
This new video shows our twin drive and dual drive rack and pinion systems, planetary gearboxes and Merobel brakes, controllers and sensors working together as part of a high-performance seven-axis system built for demanding composite applications such as automated tape layering and fiber placement. The preloaded gearboxes ensure high stiffness for precise linear and rotary …
The wood handling and processing industry features an extensive range of equipment to position, cut, machine, convey, trim, grade and drill workpieces. While the machines may be diverse in their functions, they typically have one common objective: greater productivity. Whether to process workpieces faster or reduce machine downtime, speed and efficiency are driving the industry. …
In this new video, our modular rack and pinion systems, X- and Y- axis planetary reducers and spindle drive work together as part of a high-performance gantry system. Check out the gantry system and discover the features our solutions offer.
For industrial systems that have long or continuous duty cycles, there’s no better way of ensuring machine uptime than automatically lubricating key components like rack and pinions, gearboxes, ball screws and bearings. Unfortunately, many conventional central lubrication systems are big, difficult to install and can be hard to operate. Additionally, many of the lubrication choices …
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 …
