Dimensioning of electric lifting cylinders with ball screw
For many applications in mechanical engineering and automation with special requirements for performance, precision or duty cycle, electric lifting cylinders with ball screw are the ideal drive solution. However, the prerequisite for this is the correct dimensioning for the specified loads and the required service life.
If these data are known, an exact service life calculation of the ball screw spindles as well as an optimal design of the other components such as motor and transmission can be carried out.
Insight into the assembly of planetary gears at ATP
Whether in undercarriages of crawler vehicles, in lifting and pivoting systems of crane systems, as drives for conveyor technology in the steel industry or cable winches in stage technology, the fields of application of planetary gears are diverse and demanding. The extensive modular system and the modular design of these special industrial gearboxes enable the optimum gearbox configuration for every application.
Trouble-free operation with low operating and maintenance costs can only be ensured by careful gear assembly.
Current trends in precision gears
New trends in mechanical engineering and automation technology offer many opportunities for innovation. NABTESCO, the world leader in precision gearboxes in robotics, responded to these requirements and constantly developed new product variants for a wide variety of applications. Some innovations from research and development in recent years can be found in the following report.
The largest cycloid gearbox in the world
With a rated torque of 28,000 Nm, the RV-2800N from the Japanese gearbox manufacturer Nabtesco is the largest in the world. Gearboxes and robots are becoming smaller and more compact, so the development in this direction is somewhat unusual but quite interesting.
