Product Spotlight: Linear Drive
The Model RG80 linear drive supplies up to 800 lb of side thrust for heavy load linear-motion applications.
Rolling-ring linear-motion engineering
permits mechanical control over
reversal, eliminating the need for
electronic
controls and
a reversible
motor. Linear
pitch (speed)
can be manually
adjusted
without gear reduction or adjusting
drive motor speed.
The RG80 is a friction drive that
runs on a case-hardened and ground
shaft. Drive speed and travel direction
are determined by the angle of the
specially contoured rolling-ring bearings
relative to the drive shaft. At the
stroke’s end the drive contacts an end
stop that pivots the rolling-ring bearings
to reverse travel direction. The
drive motor continues to rotate in one
direction and no gear changes or other
control adjustments are required.
