Specifying and implementing the right gear for rotary motion applications is often expensive and challenging. For example, some applications may not require 360 degrees of travel. And, conventional gear manufacturing equipment typically can’t produce larger-diameter gears. Ultimately, larger-size gears and small-volume custom orders tend to cost more and have long lead times. Even if you …

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. …
