Not all coding applications can be met by an ink jet printer in isolation. More often than not, an automation system is required.
RA Rodriguez has just announced the ex-stock availability of the new and comprehensive MHP range of high ratio hypoid gears from Japanese manufacturer KHK.
A characteristic of this type of gear is its ability to transmit higher loads, but here again RA Rodriquez breaks new ground.
The MHP range is able to produce an exceptional speed reduction of 200:1 in a single pass.
A compact gearing body replaces several stages of reduction gears, reducing component costs sharply.
By comparison with worm gears, the MHP design has less sliding contact resulting in higher efficiency.
Further costs savings are therefore possible as smaller motors can be used.
Also, as the KHK hypoid gears are carburised for high wear resistance, smaller sizes can be selected.
This compact gear assembly provides designers with the potential to save space, weight and cost.
