Timing belt drive

  • Compact design
  • Well-protected belt

Designed for single-axis positioning and sequence control procedures—including PLC-controlled setups—the AZ-1010 timing belt drives feature are compact, making the unit ideal for restricted space installations. The unit’s narrow profile is possible because the load carriage does not overhang the carrier section, yet it is the same width (1.57-in. or 40mm). In addition, the belt is recessed below the top surface of the carrier section, protecting it from potential hazards in the work environment and preventing it from being caught on machinery or parts. Carrier section lengths are combined to accommodate stroke length requirements. In fact, this timing belt drive achieves a travel speed of up to 3.5M per second with repeatable accuracy to within ±0.2mm. Amacoil Inc, Aston, PA. Free info—Circle 269. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-269

Magnetic clutches. The HSV line of permanent-magnet hysteresis clutches provides smooth torque transmission with servo quality overload protection for bottling applications. Constructed of stainless steel, this clutch is designed as two magnet-lined cylinders that nestle together but do not touch. As one cylinder rotates, torque is produced in the opposing cylinder by the interacting magnetic fields across the air gap. Rimtec Corp, Addison, IL. Free info—Circle 264. www.RSLeads.com/?112df-264

Equalizing thrust bearing. The LEG SlimLine bearing features a thickness that is 35% smaller than that of traditional bearings, says its manufacturer, yet it provides the same load-carrying capacities as other bearings offered by the company. The fluid-film-type bearing is designed with 6, 8 or 11 shoes, in sizes from 92mm to 457mm. The equalizing bearing incorporates the company’s patented Leading Edge Groove lubrication technology.
