Precision linear motion drive features thrust capacity from 7 to 800 pounds
The Precision Motion Drive System is a Model RG rolling ring linear drive integrated with a motion controller for precision linear motion applications. The Precision Motion Drive is fully programmable and meets application requirements for precision winding/spooling,...
Linear Drive with Pitch Turndown Capability Maximizes Functionality of Winding Assembly – Eliminates Need to Change Gearing
The Uhing Kinemax linear drive features variable pitch which makes it possible to spool materials of varying diameters using only one winding assembly, without having to change the drive system's gear ratio for each different gauge of material being spooled....
Shaft collar for high speed converting & winding applications – new design assures collars won’t jam on shaft
Easylock™ shaft collars, from Amacoil/Uhing, install quickly without special tools to provide non-slip holding of tools and reels on smooth, case hardened (Rockwell > 55) shafts. A new option – Easylock positive release – assures the collars won’t...
Parts Scanning Platform — Variable Speed, Automatic Reversal No Programming or Electronic Controls Needed
Amacoil has designed a parts scanning platform which moves in a reciprocating motion pattern using the Uhing linear drive. The linear motion of the platform is backlash-free. Reversal is automatic without requiring an electronic control system or reversal...
Winding Guide System Helps Assure Smooth, Even Spooling
The Amacoil/Uhing GS Guide System helps assure smooth, even spooling by keeping the wire or other material being spooled in-line between pay off and take up points. The GS system consists of guide wheels attached to the end of adjustable arms. The guide...
New Timing Belt Drive Features Sag Resistant, One-Piece Extrusion Design
The new model AZ1040 drive is the most recent extension to the Amacoil-Uhing line of timing belt drives used for smooth linear motion in positioning and indexing applications. The drive features a one-piece aluminum profile extrusion which serves as the...
Adjustable Pitch and Side Thrust Enhance Smooth Movement in Linear Positioning Drive
Amacoil/Uhing model RS linear drives are now available with five linear pitch settings and adjustable axial thrust. This permits varying pitch/thrust combinations until optimum settings are achieved. Optimizing pitch and thrust settings results in very...
Linear drive with adjustable pitch enables variable speed without changing drive motor speed
All Uhing Model RG linear drives now feature a manual pitch control which permits a 10:1 adjustment of the linear pitch of the drive unit. Each of seventeen Model RG drive units has a specific maximum linear pitch. This is the linear distance the drive...
Linear Indexing Drive with Zero Backlash Resists Clogging and Jamming
Available in seven sizes to meet axial thrust requirements from 22 to 450 pounds, the Amacoil/Uhing RS indexing drive is a backlash-free alternative for linear motion systems. The inner race of the rolling ring bearings is in constant point-contact with...
Heavy Duty Linear Drive with 800 Lbs Thrust — Reverses Direction Automatically without Reversing Drive Motor
Amacoil/Uhing has introduced the model RG80 linear drive which supplies up to 800 pounds of side thrust for heavy load linear motion applications. The drive features "rolling ring" linear motion engineering enabling mechanical control over reversal thereby...
