Triple-stage gearbox

  • high torque output

  • high efficiency

The Clincher series of parallel shaft-mount gearboxes has been expanded by the SK 12382, a larger size that delivers a maximum output torque of 796,500 lb-in. in a triple-stage, helically-geared layout. The increased output was accomplished through the use of reinforced construction, higher-grade materials and power condensation. Available with either a solid or hollow output shaft, the SK 12382 has mounting flexibility achieved through optional accessories that allow the units to be foot-mounted. Power range is from 15 to 200 hp, output speeds are from 8.7 to 62 rpm, and gear ratios range from 69:1 to 202:1. Efficiency is up to 98.5%. The UNICASE one-piece cast-iron housing prolongs gear and bearing life, while a Quadrilip oil sealing system prevents leaking and protects the gears from external damage. Nord Gear Corp, Waunakee, WI.   www.rsleads.com/210df-208


Right-angle helical gear drives
The S991MY and S991HY series are heavy-duty sealed ball bearing units that feature O-ring sealed gear cases and either right- or left-hand rotation. Offered in ratios of 1:1, 3:2 and 2:1, they are designed around 45-degree helical gears for cooler operation. They have rated speeds up to 1800 rpm, and are available from stock with hollow bores from 0.5- to 0.75-in. dia. Sterling Instrument, New Hyde Park, NY.   www.rsleads.com/210df-209


Clutch/brakes
Posidyne clutch/brake units use a heat dissipating oil-shear design that can provide 70 to 150 more cycles per minute over conventional designs, when driving heavy loads. Engineered for 600+ cpm and up to 500 brake hp, in 11 basic sizes, the units are engineered with multiple small-diameter disks on the brake stack for optimum friction area while reducing inertia. Force Control Industries Inc, Fairfield, OH.   www.rsleads.com/210df-210


Parallel gear drives
Add-A-Shaft Parallel Gear Drives are offered in 1:1, 3:2 and 2:1 ratios with 2¼- and 2½-in. shaft centers and are rated at 90% efficient. Add-A-Shaft Mini drives have a 1:1 ratio, with a 1 in. shaft center. Each model accepts a wide range of shaft diameters. They are suited to industrial machinery such as packaging, printing, material handling and assembly systems. W C Branham Inc, River Falls, WI.   www.rsleads.com/210df-211


Speed reducers
TRANSCYKO cycloidal speed reducers offer smooth, silent operation without vibration, and can absorb high shock loads in excess of 500%. Available in a wide range of mountings and configurations, the reducers are offered with reduction ratios of 6:1 through 119:1 per stage, through 7569:1 in double stage, and 658,503:1 in triple stage reduction. Input horsepower range is from 1/6 to more than 200 hp. Hyatt TSC Reducers Inc, Vancouver, BC.   www.rsleads.com/210df-212


Redesigned gear boxes
This company’s gearboxes are now housed in completely sealed, maintenance-free cases. Configurations include gear ratios of 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 40:1 and 60:1, with motor options up to 1 hp available. The hollow bore output shaft can be ordered for right- or left-hand, or dual-shaft requirements, and the modular input design accepts NEMA 42C, 56C IEC 63B5 or 71 B5 motor configurations. Dorner Mfg Corp, Hartland, WI.   www.rsleads.com/210df-213


Right angle gearmotor
The M1500 G4 PM is suited for applications that require limited continuous-duty torque ratings with low output and high-starting torques. All-metal construction with a Bakelite gear provides quiet operation for pump drives, welding wire feeders, conveyor drives, bio-analytical and packaging equipment. Models are offered from 12 to 115V, with maximum continuous torque ratings to 7 in-lb. RAE Corp, McHenry, IL.   www.rsleads.com/210df-214


Low backlash gearheads
This line of Size 5, 8 and 10 gearheads have all stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance and low maintenance operation. Offered in 1 or 2 stages, they have a range of standard reduction ratios of 4:1 to 49:1, with typical efficiencies from 87% to 92%. Applications include robotics, medical, semiconductor manufacturing and aerospace. Custom reduction ratios are available upon request. Transicoil, Norristown, PA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-215


Harmonic reducer
The hollow shaft RV-C gear reducer offers a through-hole ranging from 31 mm to 138 mm, which is suitable for allowing the passage of vacuum lines, wiring harnesses, concentric shafting and cooling lines. Rated torque range is 867 to 27,754 in.-lbs, with a peak torque range of 4,337 to 138,768 in.-lbs. Total lost motion from all sources is limited to one arc minute. Harmonic Drive Technologies, Peabody, MA.   www.rsleads.com/210df-216


End effector
The CV line of vertical compliance devices can be used to detect axial misalignment between two parts during an assembly process or loading application. Axial compression is spring and air adjustable. Loads are supported in the main body by three shafts riding in ball bushings, eliminating binding issues from offset loads. The CH line handles lateral and rotational compliance in horizontal applications. Robohand Inc, Monroe, CT.   www.rsleads.com/210df-217
