Amacoil, Inc: Design options for linear drive speed control

Uhing “rolling ring” drives from Amacoil, Uhing’s exclusive North American distributor, now feature 2 design options for adjustment of linear speed, neither of which requires electronic controls or programming.

Oct 31, 2004

A control lever/dial provides 100 discrete settings, permitting changes to the drive’s linear pitch in 0.01” increments. Alternatively, for applications requiring more precision, a worm gear design allows adjustment in pitch by turning a control knob attached to a threaded rod; this provides virtually unlimited fine tuning of linear speed.
