Amacoil/Uhing Upgrades Large Traverse Drives

Published: May 09, 2012

ASTON, PA | Amacoil/Uhing has upgraded its large sizes of RG traverse drives by adding a 100-notch scale to the pitch adjustment control, doubling linear pitch accuracy and facilitating more precision in incremental linear movement. A worm gear option is available by which the notched pitch settings are bypassed and linear pitch is infinitely adjustable (over the 10:1 range) using a control knob.

The large RG Series features "rolling ring" engineering that enables mechanical control over reversal and eliminates the need for electronic controls and a reversible motor. With travel direction and linear pitch independent of the drive motor, operator training, maintenance, and operation are made easier, company says.
