Linear Slide Option Protects Drive Systems from Damage Due to Heavy or Off-Center Loads
To enhance the performance and extend the longevity of Uhing linear drive assemblies, an optional line of linear slide load carriers has been introduced. The slides remove twisting and bending forces from the drive unit, and from the guide rails and supports....
Zero-Backlash Linear Drive Assembly Requires No Additional Drive Train Preloads – Smooth Shaft Stays Clean
A backlash-free design eliminates the need for additional drive system preload in Amacoil/Uhing linear drive units and assemblies which are used in a wide range of converting, finishing and packaging processes including slitting, coating, x-y table movement,...
Traverse Winding and Spooling System Runs Off Take-Up Drive Motor – No Additional Motors, Sensors or Controllers Needed
Engineers and production personnel may simplify spooling machine set-up, operation and maintenance, with a traverse winding system from Amacoil/Uhing which does not require its own drive motor. Instead, the traverse system is linked to the take-up reel...
Dual Traverse Assembly Facilitates Continuous Operation of Take-Up Procedures While Reducing Set-Up Time
A new traversing assembly from Amacoil/Uhing is designed with two, side-by-side load carriers on which to mount take-up material guides. A single rolling ring linear actuator drives both load carriers permitting near non-stop production during take-up...
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...
Redesigned spool flange sensing system for winding traverse expands functionality and simplifies operation
Amacoil/Uhing has announced that their FA Flange Detection System has been reengineered for simpler operation and now utilizes laser sensor technology for expanded functionality. The new FA-II system is PLC-controlled and requires none of the tedious...
