How a Single Differential Drives Dual-Wheel Capstan With Constant Linear SpeedJanuary 5, 2024

In wire and cable manufacturing, dual-wheel capstans are used to pull crush-sensitive materials through a processing line at a constant linear speed. If the diameters of the two capstan wheels are slightly different and driven directly by standard speed reducers, the linear speed of the product will be different on each capstan. This can cause …
