Today's digitally controlled, servo-driven machinery demands drive systems with high stiffness and accuracy to achieve precise positioning and repeatability. Robust and reliable standard mechanical components from Redex USA can be combined to produce rotary axes at any desired size and load-handling capability.
With Redex slewing rings, ring gears, gear segments, pinions, planetary reducers and lubrication systems, machine designers have the building blocks to cost-effectively achieve an optimal balance of precision, power and price while meeting their high-performance machine requirements.
The SRP Series offers exceptional stiffness on-rack, as well as high speed and high acceleration. This universal servo-planetary reducer can incorporate output pinions, couplings or PDP for design flexibility when building highly demanding machines
The DRP+ is designed for direct integration into the machine and features two integral output pinions that engage the rack. Then, the system is preloaded to eliminate backlash and maximize rack stiffness
KRP reducers feature an integral output pinion for exceptional stiffness. KRPX provides high stiffness with electrical preload. This rigid unit is designed for side mounting and simple setup.
The HPG's worm gear design delivers high efficiency while lowering backlash to as little as less than 3 arc minutes.
These standard rings with integrated external or internal ring gears deliver high accuracy, stiffness and uniform rotational resistance independent of load.
Redex gear segments and made-to-order large gears solve many gear specification challenges. Redex gear segments are suitable for travel less than 360 degrees.
FlexxPump automatically re-lubricates your linear system and offers a combination of localized, multipoint convenience, a specially designed applicator for open gearing, flexible tubes and simple controls
Our high-quality standard components can be combined to provide high-performance linear and rotary axis drives in many industries. Here are some examples:
Redex TwinDRIVE and DualDRIVE systems prevent backlash from occurring by setting the preload torque electrically using two motors or mechanically using a patented user-friendly system with one motor, ensuring the synchronization of a linear and rotary axis. The SRP Series servo reducers offer exceptional stiffness-on rack for precise positioning.
Redex TwinDRIVE planetary reducers can be found in automated fiber placement (AFP) machines used to produce large commercial aircraft structures, ensuring zero backlash and perfect repeatability while handling high payloads at high speeds - even in applications with frequent bidirectional accelerations.
Automated machines and systems that move intermittently, such as conveyor systems or picking and stacking equipment, can implement Redex building blocks to ensure precise starting and stopping.
With Redex racks & pinions and single drive minimum backlash or DualDRIVE ZERO BACKLASH reducers, designers can extend an articulated arm robot's working area to add a seventh or eighth axis without compromising the original design's positioning accuracy and repeatability. FlexxPUMP can apply the correct amount of lubricant to gears and bearings for reliable performance.
Redex building blocks support heavy payloads and deliver fast, precise motion reliably, often under punishing conditions when lives and mission success are on the line. You can find our power transmission and gear components at the heart of rotating mechanisms used to rapidly detect threats, home in on targets, and fire projectiles quickly aboard combat vehicles and ships.
Our precision rack & pinions, gearboxes, and servo and worm reducers address a variety of wood handling and processing challenges, allowing users to position, cut, machine, convey, trim, grade and drill workpieces with greater productivity and efficiency.
Redex racks & pinions — in straight or circumferential pitch versions — combine power and precision to meet the unique requirements of theatrical lifts and other kinetic architecture used in entertainment venues. Modular rack segment lengths from 0.5 to 2 meters can be linked together end-to-end so users can achieve any desired travel length from standard components. Preloaded dual pinion gearboxes eliminate axis backlash.
Slewing bearings can be used to position solar panels as they track the sun's path, and they can enable wind turbine nacelles to rotate smoothly and point the blades towards the oncoming wind.
Additional appropriate Redex building block applications include (but are not limited to) construction, mining equipment, steel mills, aircraft landing gear in aerospace, textiles, food processing and packaging.
