Helical Products
The demands put upon today’s design engineers seem to increase yearly. It is little wonder engineers are reaching for the Rolaids with one hand and the assistance of industry specialists with the other. Clearly the pressure is on engineers to produce designs that create competitive edge. Designs that provide a competitive edge combine simplicity of […]
R + W Couplings
Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load. R+W servo-rated torque […]
1½” Double-Wide Linear Unit Can Carry a Ton
Because it has greater ball contact in its ground circular arches (tripling load capacity), the TOPBALL® line by NB Corporation can actually carry a load of up to one ton (2000 lbs). Having three times the conventional load capacity, TOPBALL products minimize space requirements. The TOPBALL line is uniquely engineered to self-align. They have load […]
