Linear Drives offer shaft cleaning and lubricating option.

Uhing linear drives are available with combination shaft scraper/grease fitting option for automatic cleaning and lubrication of drive shaft. While drive is running, fitting removes excessive grease, dust, and dirt from shaft and simultaneously ensures adequate shaft lubrication. Debris, as it accumulates at either end of shaft, can be wiped away with a cloth. In most applications, shaft scrapers...

Linear Positioning Drives offer adjustable pitch/side thrust.
Communication Systems & Equipment

Linear Positioning Drives offer adjustable pitch/side thrust.

Model RS linear drives feature adjustable axial thrust as well as pitch settings of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 times shaft diameter. Side thrust and linear pitch will not vary when other is adjusted, simplifying process of finding settings that will enhance smooth linear movement and overall optimum drive function. Units achieve linear speeds of up to 5 fps, over distances of up to 13 ft, with...

Linear Slide Load Carrier relieves radial forces.
Laboratory and Research Supplies and Equipment

Linear Slide Load Carrier relieves radial forces.

Supported on its own end supports and guide rails, flexibly-coupled linear slide load carrier removes twisting and bending forces from Uhing drive and assembly. Design assures that overturning moments and other forces created by payload do not work against axial thrust provided by drive. Slide is available in models SLS and L2 for heavy duty loads that mount on top of drive, while L4 model mounts...

Rolling Ring Drives offer grease fitting option.
Controls & Controllers

Rolling Ring Drives offer grease fitting option.

Providing axial thrust up to 800 lb, Uhing Rolling Ring Drives with grease fitting option achieve speeds up to 13 fps over travel distances up to 16 ft. When drive is running, fittings facilitate automatic shaft lubrication while wipers clean shaft, preventing buildup of grease. Mounted adjacent to wipers on each end of drive, grease fitting assemblies contain felt rings which absorb and evenly...

Space Saving Linear Drive Design

March, 2006 The addition of an extra bearing in Amacoil/Uhing model RG3 linear drives doubles side thrust capacity without significantly increasing the length of the drive. For example, an RG3-30 drive provides 60 pounds of axial thrust and has a 150 mm (6 in.) long housing. The 4-bearing option (RG4-30) delivers 120 pounds of thrust, yet the housing is only is only 30 mm (0.5 in.) longer than...

Rolling Ring Linear Drives slow down independent of motor.

Facilitating smooth reversal, Series RG offers option whereby end stop assemblies are fitted with V-shaped cams to decrease linear speed of drive prior to reversal without using electronic controls or reducing motor speed. After reversal, cams permit smooth ramp up of drive speed, eliminating possible whipping action of tools. Slowdown cam applications include applying coatings, slitting, spray...
