Modular automation for ink jet coding
Not all coding applications can be met by an ink jet printer in isolation. More often than not, an automation system is required.
However their potential to simplify system design makes them an attractive solution for many other sectors too.
The MT range is rated for moment loads from 832 ft-lbs to 16,500 ft-lbs (1,128Nm to 22,373Nm).
The bearings use a four-point contact design that allows them to carry radial, thrust and moment load simultaneously.
A single four-point contact bearing can take the place of duplexed bearing pairs.
The product contains few parts and therefore weighs less than alternatives, making it an economical and space saving replacement for kingpost designs.
Pre-engineered bolt holes are standard with the MT Series, simplifying installation.
The bearings can be specified to incorporate shields or seals to provide lubricant retention.
