Shaft Collars: Multiple types for shafts from 1/8" to 6" (3 to 80 mm) in a variety of materials and finishes including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum and engineered plastic.

Servo Couplings: Multiple types in rigid, beam, bellows, controlflex, disc, jaw, Oldham and slit for shafts from 1/8" to 6" (3 to 50 mm) in one or two pieces, with or without keyways, and in a variety of materials and finishes including stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminium.

The micro-size Cross-Roller Ring RAU features a 10mm inner diameter and a 21mm outer diameter. It is more compact, lightweight and rigid than a double row angular contact ball bearing type. RAU rollers travel on V-shaped raceways ground into the inner and outer rings. Alternating rollers are arrayed orthogonally so that one bearing can support loads and moments in any direction. Spacer retainers enable smooth movement and high rotation accuracy.

While managing hardware costs is standard practice in any automation project, engineering design and commissioning costs can account for as much if not more than hardware, especially for custom builds. Any measures that reduce design time and cost fall to a system builder’s bottom line.

On May 9th, Design Engineering will host a 2.5 hour seminar that explores freely available online tools that simplify and speed up the process of selecting and configuring machine components as well as designing, programming and commissioning full automation systems.

Thanks to our sponsors Festo; Beckhoff and HIWIN for making this event possible.
