New traverse winding drive for electronically controlled systems — 20+ pounds of side thrust
Amacoil/Uhing has expanded its line of model RS traverse winding drives with the new RS8 drive. The new unit runs on an 8mm diameter case hardened and ground smooth shaft and is designed for electronically controlled winding systems. The RS8 nut is the smallest drive in the RS line, yet it provides the same axial thrust (100 Newtons/23 pounds) as the next larger size traverse. For level winding wire and other materials under high tension, the small size of the RS8 conserves space without loss of side thrust capacity.
It doesn’t always make “sensor”
