Right angle gear drives

These Crown gear drives provide directional motion change in all types of power transmission systems. Featuring spiral bevel gears and non-magnetic stainless steel shafts, they are ideal for heavy loads, long operation, and for use in harsh operating environments. Available in two- and three-way versions, Crown drives are available with shafts from 3/8- to 1-in. diameter, in both 1:1 and 2:1 ratios.

Splash proof actuator

Fully sealed against harsh environments with splashing liquids, precipitation, salt spray, harsh chemicals, extreme dust or other particulate debris, this 1-in. diameter linear actuator can generate 10 lbs. of force. A rubber bellows seals the shaft and a compression coupling seals the lead wire. The motor is constructed with ball bearings and stainless steel leadscrew, and step increments available are 0.0005-, 0.001-, 0.002- and 0.004-in. Haydon Switch & Instrument Inc, 1500 Meriden Rd, Waterbury, CT 06705. 800-243-2715. Circle 442.

Miniature linear slide

Using a 6mm dia. ball screw driven by a NEMA 14 stepper motor, the Miniature Precision System has travel lengths starting at just 1 in., in complete system lengths starting at 6 in. A precision carriage plate with a 265 lb. load capacity is mounted on recirculating-ball anti-friction ways, and it moves at a travel speed of 2.6 in./sec. The MP System is designed for applications in inspection, vision, transfer and gauging. Specialty Motions Inc, 22343 La Palma Ave, Ste 112, Yorba Linda, CA 92887. 800-283-3411. Circle 443.

Heavy-duty cylinders

ChiefTC3, a 3000 PSI version of the flagship ChiefTC tie rod cylinder series, has been introduced to satisfy the requirements of higher-pressure applications, with 113 standard sizes ranging from 2- to 5-in. bore. The ChiefWT is a 3000 PSI welded hydraulic cylinder with cross-tube ends, with 127 standard sizes ranging from 2- to 8-in. bore. Customized versions are available for both. Bailey Sales Corp, 6431 Baum Dr, PO Box 19805, Knoxville, TN 37939-2805. 800-800-1810. Circle 444.

Speed reducers

Transcyko cycloidal speed reducers operate silently, without vibration, and can absorb extremely high shock loads. They are available with reduction ratios of 6:1 through 119:1 per stage, through 7569:1 in double and 658,503:1 in triple reduction. Input horsepowers range from 1/16 to over 200 HP, and output torque can be in excess of 500,000 in. lbs. Transcyko units are offered in a wide range of mountings and configurations.
