Zero-Max Zero Maintenance Bearings
Plymouth, MN - Zero maintenance bearings are now available as an option for Schmidt Offset couplings from Zero-Max. This new coupling feature eliminates the need for periodic coupling lubrication and the resulting system downtime.Schmidt Offset couplings provide the utmost in precision for parallel offset shafts. They transmit constant angular velocity and torque in a wide range of parallel shaft misalignments. With a time-proven design, they are used in a wide range of machine applications such as printing, embossing, paper converting, pharmaceutical, and automated assembly systems.The new Schmidt sealed bearing coupling ...
Beckhoff’s dynamic servo motors for the food industry
Beckhoff (www.beckhoff.com) has expanded its AM3000 Synchronous Servo motor series with a FDA-compliant model designed with a white surface coating – a high-performance servo solution for any applications in the food industry. The motors’ coating, which is ideal for use in any food products, is resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. Aside from the surface coating, the new servo motors are not different from the standard types from the AM3000 series.Hygiene regulations within the food industry puts high demand on drive and control components regarding the materials and surfaces, which should be capable of withstanding regular exposure, as well as resistance ...
Zero-Max ETP Shaft Locking Bushings
Plymouth, MN - ETP Shaft locking bushings from Zero-Max produce accurate and concentric mounting compared to mechanical shaft locking bushings.ETP bushings incorporate a double walled sleeve encapsulating a pressure medium. When the actuation screw is tightened it forces the inner and outer wall of the bushing to expand uniformly against the shaft and hub of the mounted component. The result is concentricity to .001” T.I.R. Mechanical devices, by comparison, rely on precise and accurate tightening of the actuation screws to avoid excessive T.I.R. Additionally, extremely high compressive forces are ...
