Controlling Converging Loads

By |2025-11-12T20:42:06+00:00January 9th, 2018|Application Examples|

In many material-handling applications, it is necessary to make adjustments in the load support center distances to accommodate loads of different lengths or widths, especially if these loads have to be captured to avoid shifting. These loads can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and encompass a variety of industries. Similar designs concepts are used in tooling storage, automated inventory systems, and in large product handling systems. In this case, the customer’s design concept included two carriage beds supported on rollers and running on a guided track. These carriages had to either converge [...]

Home improvements, especially kitchen renovations, are hot topics in lifestyle TV shows and magazines. The kitchen is considered to be the focal point of most families' home life. A big decision is the type of countertop to install. There are natural materials, laminates, and solid man-made options. DieQua was called upon to help in the design of a machine to manufacture solid countertop material, one of the more popular choices due to its wear and maintenance characteristics. The design was complex but used a concept that is relevant in a variety of extrusion and rolling [...]

Quick Connection Improves Efficiency

By |2025-11-12T20:42:06+00:00December 14th, 2017|Application Examples|

Short-run printing and automated machining require quick tool changes to achieve customized production in an efficient manner. Two different applications use the same design concept to solve this problem. In the first application, a manufacturer of printing presses was looking for a quick-connect system to speed up cylinder changes. With short-run printing becoming the norm, print cylinder changeover was eating up a lot of production time. In the past, a transfer gear was installed on the cylinder shaft journal. However, because of a gear error, some motion variations were created. The new quick-connect system design [...]

To further enlighten and educate our distributors on the vast array of potential solutions, DieQua established the DieQua Technical Institute, or DTI. 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 the requirements. It is held 2-3 times per year, primarily for our distribution partners, but also for our OEM customer design engineers. The DTI starts with a brief introduction followed by a tour of the facility, showing off how motion control and power [...]

The Link Between Design and Speed Control

By |2025-11-12T20:42:06+00:00November 13th, 2017|Application Examples|

The tried and true method of synchronizing the speed of multiple stations by linking them mechanically through a gearbox system remains a popular option in machine design. This is still seen in printing presses, conveyors, roll forming and packaging lines, just to name a few examples. A customer of ours recently requested some assistance in designing a conveyor and feed system for a large pipe cutting operation. The long, heavy pipe was to be loaded on a set of rollers that would then move the pipe into a cutting house where it would be sawed into [...]

Gearbox Oil Seal Leak Investigation: Symptoms, Causes, & More

By |2025-11-12T20:42:06+00:00November 6th, 2017|Application Examples|

Why Do Gearbox Seal Leaks Happen? Gearbox seal leaks are the bane of gearbox users. Since lubrication is the lifeblood of enclosed drives, maintaining oil levels is critical to long life. When oil starts leaking, corrective action is necessary, but what action? What’s going wrong? Actually, the answers can be varied as the gear type used, how it’s mounted, the speed it’s running, and the environment it’s in. Investigating a Gearbox Leak: A Real-World Example We had a user of a competitive worm gear speed reducer give us a call. He had his gearbox mounted [...]
