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 …
As the VP of Engineering at Redex for over 36 years, David Regiec, P.E. has been providing custom-designed gearboxes and components & systems to machine builders of all types. New clients come to Redex USA when their existing solution does not meet specifications, or they have a new project that requires updated technology. Below are …
In this application, a robot carries a head that unwinds carbon fiber tows and applies them to a rotating mold to make a pressure vessel. Perfect synchronization between the linear and rotary axes is required to avoid bulges on the curved section of the part. Redex TwinDrive and DualDrive systems with Zero-backlash ensure that the …
To simulate a wide variety of real-world conditions on automotive components and systems, test stands often need brakes that can deliver a range of torque levels while minimizing cost and control complexity. That’s where magnetic particle brakes come into play. Particle brakes adjust transmission torque based on controlled variations of a magnetic field generated by …
What needs to be lubricated? Manufacturing companies in every field have realized the best way to be competitive with price and quality is to automate their factories. This requirement to automate has created a large demand for 6 axis articulated arm robots. These robots perform many operations from material handling, painting and welding to actually …
When designing a test bench, Particle brakes made by Merobel™ provide an excellent solution, because of their ability to generate a torque load that is precise, variable and easy to control – at a reasonable cost. Characterization, design validation, endurance, production, etc. When designing a test bench, the Particle brake provides an excellent solution to …
Only a handful of manufacturers in the world are able to offer planetary reducers with extremely high precision achieving less than 1 arc-minute of backlash without mechanical preload. Out of this already-small group of manufacturers, only Redex makes a family of high precision planetary reducers specifically designed for use with racks on linear axes and …
Redex USA’s objective over the years has always remained the same: to provide innovative, high-quality gearboxes and solutions for use on industrial machinery. The Anglgear™ right angle drive is an example of our commitment to our customers’ needs and applications. Since purchasing this product line more than 30 years ago, the Anglgear has grown into …
MSR dramatically simplifies the VTL turntable mechanical transmission system. In many cases, it is also much more economical. Up to now, the conventional solution for VTL turntable drives has been composed of: a main drive (single motor and output pinion) for turning operations and a separate preloaded gearbox (Dual Pinions) for C-axis drive milling and …
