Saving Money with High Efficiency Gearmotors
By Joseph L. HazeltonStanding in a factory or a warehouse, you're bound to notice machinery, whether it's a conveyor system that winds across the floor or large fans that hang from the ceiling. You may even notice automated guided vehicles or autonomous mobile robots carrying parts, driving themselves from one section of the building to another. These machines are good candidates for using high-efficiency gearmotors, especially if they're expected to run for long stretches at a time. If they aren't using high-efficiency gearmotors, then they may be costing more money than they should.
Special Requirements Call for Custom Coupling Solutions
Design engineers seek the most efficient and reliable solutions to their applications. While often times, standard products are ideal, there are instances when an application challenge requires something other than a standard solution.
Curved Rail Guides for Non Linear Motion
For applications where you need to move in directions other than a straight line, try our Curved Rail Guides and Carriages! Curved and straight rail sections are easily connected to make continuous loop motion or whatever motion path your application requires. Call 800-284-9784 to talk with an engineer about your project.
