When you attend a stage production, the performers are typically just one part of the show. Sometimes the components behind the scenes are just as important to a show’s success. That’s especially true whenever scenery or performers must be raised, lowered, or positioned safely and conspicuously. Elevators and lifts make it all happen, and almost…
Magnetic particle brakes combine attractive torque performance and simplicity
When a machine design calls for a brake or clutch to deliver fast and accurate torque control, magnetic particle technology offers high torque output, precise adjustment, and simplicity. This combination of features makes magnetic particle brakes (MPB) and clutches desirable for tension control in converting, winding, and cable operations, while their simplicity makes them suitable […]
Andantex to introduce new planetary Reducer design concept at IMTS
Developed with machine tool performance in mind, EVO 1 is a new approach to driving machine tool axes. The EVO 1 mechanical gearing system approaches the performance of a linear motor at the lower price of a rack and pinion linear axis. Features include high stiffness, zero backlash, and an ultra-minimal transmission error. This new…

Twin Drive System Simplifies Turning Table Design
The latest version of MSR TwinDrive simplifies the mechanical transmission system on large vertical lathes. As a result, the design of turning tables is easier. The MSR drive is composed of two identical gearboxes (TwinDrive system), sharing the driving torque (50%-50%) during turning operations. With the help of the CNC system, which manages the motor…
