Bearings, gears, linear motion, aerospace and conveyor products will all be featured on the RA Rodriguez stand at Drives and Controls, with new additions to each New to the long established Kaydon range of Reali-Slim thin section bearings is the recently introduced metric series

An industry standard for applications that call for simplicity, compactness and minimum weight, Reali-Slim is now stocked by RA Rodriguez in more than 350 different sizes.

Copies of the 3008 KHK Stock Gear catalogue will be available from the stand, a new edition that contains details of several new products including sintered metal spur gears, Fairlock hub acetal spur gears, tapered racks and pinions and spiral bevel gear boxes.

Also new are the KHK hypoid gears.

Available ex-stock, this 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, cutting component cost sharply.

A number of configurations demonstrating the versatility of the Werner linear motion programme will be joined by a new linear guideway with patented circulation and lubrication systems.

Developed by RA Rodriguez in Germany the guideway has a four-row bearing structure that affords significant benefits over systems based on four point contact bearings.

High accuracy, high stiffness and low torque are characteristics of this new range.

The aerospace sector has always been a prime target market for many RA Rodriguez products.

Kaydon and Spirolox bearings are typical of this application-specific range.

The company also represents the Kahr Bearing company which manufactures spherical and journal bearings for landing gear and helicopter rotor dynamics.

A new addition to the aerospace portfolio is Valve Research and Manufacturing, a company that designs and manufactures miniature fluid control valves, solenoids and manifolds.

A selection of its products will be displayed on the stand.

Representative of the conveyor products and new to the range are the Zetasassi tensioning devices and overload clutches.

Variants include manual and automatic adjustable chain tighteneners and manual swivelling chain tighteners; nine models of safety clutches for torque up to Nms are also available.
