DieQua Technical Institute – March 2018

Every year, DieQua seeks to enlighten and educate our distributors on the vast array of potential solutions. Typically there are 2-3 sessions per year of the DieQua Technical Institute, or the DTI. The DieQua Technical Institute is a two-day training class covering the analytical process of identifying the characteristics of a power transmission or motion control application and selecting the proper gear product to satisfy the requirements. The DTI is held primarily for our distribution partners, as well as our OEM customer [...]

Food Industry Gearboxes: Solutions for Mixers

Mixing and agitating applications pose demanding challenges for food industry gearboxes. Not only do speeds and loads vary significantly, but they also operate under harsh environmental conditions. Consequently, high-quality components, robust designs, and specialized protective features are essential. We had a customer approach us with a challenge: they needed a robust industrial mixer gearbox capable of converting food solids into semi-liquids, suitable for products like spreads, cheese dips, ice cream, and pie filling. The requirements included two mixer sizes with capacities of 20 and 50 horsepower, operating at a full motor speed of 1750 rpm. [...]

Hybrids Drive Commuters

With energy efficiency, a hot topic, designing hybrid power plants for vehicles is growing in popularity and cost-effectiveness. But the gearing necessary requires special consideration. We had a customer recently request a right-angle spiral bevel gear design that was to be incorporated into a hybrid diesel/electrical power package to drive a bus. Much like a train power supply, this hybrid diesel bus engine was to drive a generator that supplied energy to electric motors that powered the vehicle. Designing a gear system to achieve this presented several challenges. The first challenge is that diesel engines [...]

Two Screws, One Motor, Zero Problems

Linear motion for the positioning of tooling, or driving carriages, is a common requirement in automated machinery. Where dual drives are required, precision gearing is critical for positioning performance. In many applications, a single linear device, such as a ball screw or belt drive, can be driven by a single servo motor, which may or may not include a gearhead to gain additional mechanical advantage. But, for larger or wider loads dual screws are often necessary to provide even or balanced forces. While synchronized master/slave servo motor controls could be used to drive each ball [...]

Dual Input Gearbox Provides Dual Output Speed Solution

There are a lot of processes that require continuous, smooth running, rotary motion. But sometimes two different speeds are necessary. Inverters or servo gearheads can’t always deal with the differences. In a lot of applications, variable speed can be accomplished with an inverter. By varying the hertz a motor can operate at a relatively wide speed range. However, when running above 60 Hz there is usually a drop off in output torque. And when the hertz drop below 20, in many instances additional cooling is necessary because the fan isn’t turning fast enough. And when [...]

Chicken Breast or Easter Bunnies?

While many have visited a fast food restaurant and ordered a chicken sandwich, or that seasonal favorite, the riblet sandwich, they don't look bad, but I don't think anyone really believes they are getting an actual chicken breast or boneless rack of ribs. Or, how about the variety of baked goods formed into unique shapes, and confection products like chocolate bars or ice cream treats produced in specific configurations? To satisfy our quick lifestyle, and our penchant for tasty luxuries, a variety of machinery manufacturers are designing machines to increase the production of these types [...]
