The DieQua Paint Process
DieQua’s paint process for metal gearboxes, explained in one video. https://youtu.be/JDeQZRhTRfA
Mount Gearheads Vertically
Often times we see customers mount servo gearheads like SESAME incorrectly. In many instances, the first reaction is to mount horizontally, but this is not a good practice. It is essential when installing a gearbox, to do it vertically instead of horizontally. This video explains why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfOF3fve4-k
IEC and NEMA Motors
IEC vs. NEMA Motors A large percentage of our customers produce their machinery for both the North American domestic market as well as for the various export markets of Europe, Asia, and South America. This often causes a design issue as power sources are different from market to market. Different motors should be specified to optimize the design, which then alters the gearboxes used with them. Most of our gear products have a solution for that complexity. Here is an example of one of those gearbox products when it came to IEC vs. NEMA motors. [...]
Replacing HYDRAULIC lifting systems with ELECTROMECHANICAL systems
There is a widespread push in North America to replace hydraulic lifting systems with electromechanical systems. This trend has been going on for many years in Europe and is now really taking hold in North America. Many engineers are now tasked with the job of eliminating environmentally unfriendly hydraulic oil with systems that are purely electromechanical. When making this changeover, a number of important factors need to be considered to make sure the new design will work properly, efficiently, and reliably over the life of the system. This webinar allowed engineers to [...]

DieQua Technical Institute March 2019
The first DTI of 2019 took place from 3/21 to 3/22. The two-day event is traditionally held at the DieQua headquarters in Bloomingdale. These DTI - short for DieQua Technical Institute - are held two-to-three times every year. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about products and technology. Every year, DieQua seeks to enlighten and educate distributors on the vast array of potential solutions. DTI 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 [...]
Operate In High Temperature Environment
Customers often call saying they need a gearbox but tell us the application is secret. It's understandable that privacy can be a concern. But it's equally important that your supplier really knows what is going on. A customer of ours approached us asking for a spiral bevel gearbox that was to be used in a high-temperature environment. They gave us no other information other than the torque required, that all shafts would be mounted horizontal, the speed would be under 100 rpm, and that it had to operate in a high temp environment of 180 [...]
Feeling The Pressure?
There are a lot of industrial applications for gear products in harsh environments with not a lot of sources for them. Some of those gearbox applications require operating underwater. I’d say that’s pretty harsh. But it’s something we’ve been able to offer in a number of instances. A customer recently approached us with an engineering request for a gearbox to be used in a wastewater treatment plant. We had done other applications for this customer, but this gearbox had to be able to operate underwater. They were designing an agitation system, which in this [...]
