Optical Flange Detector enhances spooling accuracy.
Optical Flange Sensing System enhances winding accuracy when used with Uhing traverse winding drives. Two versions are available: one relies on reflective properties of spool flanges, and one uses light curtain concept that does not require reflected light. Both systems employ opto-sensors to detect spool flanges and signal pneumatic or electronic switch to flip spring-actuated reversal lever on...

Winding Drive suits general spooling applications.
Uhing Model RGK3-20-0 rolling ring, traverse winding drive uses injection-molded plastic parts for housing and rolling ring carriers. It offers 110-130 Newtons axial thrust due to bearing assembly design where all 3 thrust rings pivot instead of one. Release lever enables user to slide drive freely on shaft without turning on motor. Linear pitch control mechanism is continuously adjustable from...

Linear Drive has zero backlash and jam-proof design.
Available in 7 sizes, Model RS4 drive nut is configurable for vertical or horizontal travel. Smooth shaft has no threads and operates at rotational speeds to 10,000 rpm. Linear travel speed ranges from 0.5-4.0 ft/sec depending on drive size and payload weight, and RS4 drive offers axial thrust from 22-449 lb. Rolling ring bearings have constant, single-point contact with drive shaft, resulting is...

Rolling Ring Drive features thrust release lever.
Model RG 40 mm drive features free movement lever and extruded aluminum housings. It provides automatic reversal, without programming or electronics, while traveling at linear speeds up to 0.6 m/sec. Drive is available in 3- (9.70 lb) and 4-ring (11.68 lb) designs, which offer 94.42 and 188.85 lb of axial thrust, respectively. Drive head travel speed and direction are mechanically controlled...

Level Winder provides smooth, even spooling.
Level Winding System uses sensors to detect wire at spool flanges and to control traverse reversal points, eliminating need for operator to set end stops on Uhing rolling ring traverse assembly. Sensor pulley assembly is supported by linear slide, which protects bearings from overload. Motor that drives spool rotation is linked to traverse drive shaft by belt and pulley system, automatically...

Linear Drive Assemblies offer remote stroke adjustment.
Drive head stroke length on Amacoil/Uhing Model RG linear drive assemblies adjusts via optional remote control knobs located outside of pillow block end supports at end of stop rods. Turning knobs causes end stops to move apart or together, determining drive head reversal points and setting stroke length. Systems provide up to 800 lb of axial thrust and travel speeds to 13 ft/sec at constant RPMs...

Rolling Ring Linear Drives have extra bearing option.
Available in 9 sizes, Model RG linear drives have 3- or 4-ring bearing assemblies inside drive unit. Fourth ring doubles axial thrust output and lengthens drive housing by 0.5 in. or less. Products reverse travel direction at end of each stroke independently of motors or controls, and drive shafts continue to rotate in one direction, even during reversal. Systems provide up to 800 lbs. of axial...

Drive Assemblies have option that prevents sudden stops/starts.
Rolling ring linear drive assemblies are offered with mechanically operated V-cam option that enables controlled ramp down/up of drive head while motor rotates at constant speed. Product reduces linear speed of drive head before reversal, dissipating forward payload momentum. After reversal, drive head gradually ramps back up to speed to ensure smooth movement of payload. Drive systems provide up...

Linear Slide Option protects drives from damage.
Linear Drive Assemblies use Linear Slides to remove twisting and bending forces from drive unit, guide rails, and supports. By lifting payload weight off drive unit, linear slide attachments assure that bearing assembly is not under undue pressure. Models SLS and L2 mount to top of drive head and handle medium- and heavy-duty loads, respectively. When vertical space above drive head is limited,...

Linear Drive eliminates need to change gearing.
Kinemax linear drive, with variable pitch and mechanical reversal mechanism, enables users to spool materials of varying diameters using single winding assembly, without having to change drive system's gear ratio for different gauges. Units provide up to 6.8 lb axial thrust and max pitch of 0.24 in. For heavy-duty winding requirements, RG linear drive offers axial thrust up to 800 lb and max...
