Drive technology: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

"Products cannot be sold without data"

Misumi's declared aim is to support (special) machine manufacturers in development, design and production - from mechanical components for tools to automation solutions. SCOPE spoke to Stephan Stammberger about small quantities, sophisticated production and logistics concepts and competitiveness in the age of digitalization.

Miniature drives for use in space

It is now 50 years since Apollo 11 landed on the moon and the first human set foot on the Earth's satellite. A lot has happened since then. Space has now become a place of work and research for humans. Propulsion technology has also contributed to this development. From the moon to Mars: lightweight and compact Faulhaber miniature drives.

Ball screws

New gradients allow the drivetrain to be optimized

Four new sizes for the most common ball screw drives: Designers can fine-tune drives and linear technology for high dynamics more precisely than before.

Christian Schilling

Neugart: New Vice President in the USA

Neugart USA, the US subsidiary of the gearbox specialist Neugart, is gaining additional personnel from Germany: Christian Schilling is taking over local management as Vice President.

Wheel hub drive

Free ride in the warehouse

Especially for use in automated guided vehicles (AGVs), ABM offers gearboxes that are compact in design and can be installed in a space-saving manner.

External rotor motor

Motor for AGVs

Maccon has introduced the XR-15 family of flat brushless DC motors as external rotors. This series from the English manufacturer Printed Motor Works has a short axial length and is suitable for tight installation spaces.

Metal bellows coupling

Blind mounting

Modern designs are becoming increasingly complex and must be designed to save space. For many parts of the drivetrain, the only remaining option for integration is blind assembly.

Electric drives

Steering in a narrow aisle

Bonfiglioli has introduced electric drives for modern intralogistics processes. These include idle steering systems from the 601W0E series, which are typically used in the rear of three- and four-wheel counterbalanced forklift trucks.

Positioning

Direct drive with IO-Link

In addition to the stepper motor, the PSD direct drives from Halstrup-Walcher have all the relevant subsystems for automatic format adjustment integrated.
