Cycloidal speed reducer technology reduces the speed of a motor’s input shaft by a predetermined ratio, matched to the application and the type of equipment used. These high-precision devices deliver relatively high reduction ratios, even for sizes as small as 50 mm in diameter. Speed reducers are essential for precise motion control in sophisticated systems such as robotics, military/defense equipment, and satellite antennas.
Our Applied Cobotics team looks at how Illinois-based PBC Linear is meeting changing customer demands with automation tools to help revolutionize the manufacturing process. They are building flexible automation systems such as the Cobot Feeder, and incorporating collaborative robots and augmented reality machine-training programs into their factory of the future. Sitting on the distinguished panel are Beau Wileman, product manager for Applied Cobotics and 3D Platform, along with Tim LeCrone, Director of Manufacturing Engineering at PBC Linear, and one of the newest team members, Derek Neises, Manufacturing Engineer and Robotics Specialist. Together they make up part of a core group of engineers, company leaders and frontline workers dedicated to strengthening American manufacturing.

Gearboxes are essential for practically every industry. What happens when there are specific challenges presented - whether it be environmental, safety or application challenges? How can a gearbox work in extreme conditions? Learn how we can implement a standard gearbox with modifications that are ideal for your applications.
Find out about the benefits of a high performance Servo Worm Gearbox, and get an understanding of what applications & industries are ideal for this gearbox. By watching this webinar you will be able to identify applications well-suited for a high performance servo worm reducer and understand the construction differences among each model of DieQua's servo worm gear reducer.
Because gearboxes are used in practically every industry, engineers often have to come up with creative solutions to a wide variety of unusual challenges. Perhaps you are facing problems with lifespan, environment or safety in your own applications. Diequa president Meikel Quaas will share multiple examples and case studies of gearbox inventions his company has built for customers from around the world.
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.
Mainshaft bearings inside wind turbines are subjected to extremely harsh operating conditions that result in failure patterns which include surface-initiated fatigue, abrasive wear and uneven internal load distribution. This webinar will introduce you to the latest engineering advancements in spherical roller bearing design, including solutions that allow potentially damaging thrust to be safely transferred through the bearing to the housing support. The resulting reduction in torque, friction and heat significantly improves the overall efficiency of the system, thereby enabling the wind turbine to generate more power – more reliably!
