Would I ever use a fixed pitch Model RS linear drive for a spooling application?
Yes. If you are winding a material that demands extremely high accuracy or requires a complex or intricate lay line pattern, the Amacoil/Uhing RS linear drive, in an electronically-controlled system, is ideal for guiding the material onto the spool. The diagram below shows a typical custom winding set-up. For details on systems like this, contact an Amacoil applications engineer toll free at 1-800-252-2645.
