Power Transmission

Traditional gear design limits the performance of mechanical drives.

The Roller Pinion System (RPS) converts rotary motion into precise backlash-free linear motion while operating at high speeds over long distances.

Designed for purpose-built or converted light-duty vehicles, the wheel end brake is an alternative to standard OEM brake systems that require constant maintenance in harsh or corrosive environments.

The AquaPruf family of sanitary conveyors feature metal-free zones with metal detectors that let food manufacturers scan products for metal during processing or packaging.

The nonmagnetic RigiBelt chain is constructed of reinforced plastic and stainless steel and comes together like a zipper to form a column.

The STA11 direct-drive linear actuator comes with a 14-to-232-mm stroke length at a peak force of 92 N and peak velocity of 4.7 m/sec.

The Series S900 tensioning device speeds the installation of emergency cable-pull switches by replacing the turnbuckle and wire clamps.

Will ducted fans bring flying cars closer to reality?

A new Series of 16 timing belt clamps, designed for long-span reciprocating synchronous drives, are made from polycarbonate resin.

A new six-pin jaw coupling takes only 5 to 15 min to remove and replace.

Size 8 linear actuators are now available with encoder feedback.

Wheel-end brake retrofits standard caliper disc and drum brakes found on most Class 1 and 2 vehicles (GVW less than 10,000 lb) and is completely enclosed and self-contained to resist wear and corrosion.

Heli-Cal Flexure power-transmission components are constructed from a single homogeneous high-strength material, which eliminates the need for rubber bushings, spiders, rubber discs, pads, bolts, and nuts.

Electromagnetic clutch/brakes from Ogura Industrial Corp., Somerset, N.J., start and stop cutting blades in GPS-guided lawn mowers.

The PV Series gearbox offers a wide assortment of output face options along with high radial load and output torque.
