Reli-a-Flex Shaft Couplings offers long life, low kinematic error
Reliance Mechatronics launched a flexible shaft coupling that offers high torsional stiffness, low bearing load, long service life and low kinematic error. The Reli-a-Flex coupling achieves high torsional stiffness by placing the beams radially around the coupling. Unlike other coupling with spiral pattern beams, the radial beams support the drive loads in compression. The center […]
PWM Speed Controls Drive Permanent Magnet DC Gearmotors and Motors up to 1/3 HP
12 and 24 Volt PWM Speed Controls from Bodine Electric Company provide simple and reliable speed control for low-voltage 12 or 24V permanent magnet DC (PMDC) gearmotors and motors (up to 1/3 HP / 250 Watts). The controls utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to insure quiet operation, low operating temperature and optimal brush life. […]
