Gear Reducers Take the Cake
Man does not live by bread alone, but still needs specialized equipment for its production. Learn why a supplier of cooling tunnels and custom conveyors to the baking market relies on these concentric and right-angle gear reducers to enhance efficiency and prevent breakdowns. You may even save some dough.

Crowning Achievement in Gear Design
The cost impediment to using crown gears in precision power gearing systems is being eroded: specialized cutting tools and 3D capabilities are revolutionizing realization of these complex tooth geometries. Once enthroned, crown gears operate at 85-96% efficiency, superior to that of bevel spur or worm gears.

A Beneficial Bevy of Belts
You've determined operating conditions and dimensions for your conveyor system and now must select the correct belt. The pros and cons (including noise, corrosion, and hygiene considerations) of using metal, table top, and modular chains, or timing, detachable, flat, or extruded polyurethane cord belts are spelled out, with typical applications cited for each.

Disc Brake of Good Caliper
This hydraulically activated, single opposed piston, caliper disc brake provides medium torque ranges for a myriad of mechanical applications (including log splitters, slicing machines, and underground shuttle vehicles). Flexible mounting options expand its versatility, and automatic adjusters and retracting springs offer a solution for high-speed jobs.

Water-Cooled Torque Control
Few parts translate into simple installation and maintenance and time- and cost-savings while promising accurate torque control for constant tensioning. Water-cooled brakes and clutches slip easily into heavy duty applications (mooring winches, mobile forestry equipment, and metal processing and forming machines). Chill out with high heat absorption and torque stability afforded by the water jacket design.
