Mechanical Components

Austrian bearing manufacturer NKE Austria supplies rolling bearings for railway vehicles. The available products and services include rolling bearings for traction motors and gearboxes as well as technical services for the railway industry.

Over the last 30 years, electrical drives have continued to become more compact, quicker, capable of better performances and more dynamic. Of course, torque limiting clutches and shaft couplings had to follow this trend. Additionally, there have been a multitude of fundamental new developments for torque limiting clutches, often initiated by highly-specific, application-orientated demands.

World-leading standard components company Elesa are delighted to offer their range of standard conveyor system components. Aimed at making life easy for manufacturers of conveyor systems, transfer lines and specialist machines, the Flexible Automation Components package is ideal for manufacturing, assembly and packaging applications.

Spacers, pillars and stand-offs, they’re simple but important components in electronic assembly and surprisingly they form a significant part of the Huco Dynatork business. The company, best known for its miniature couplings, air motors and drive line components, has marketed its own range of these assembly components for many years. However due to increasing demand for more variants on short lead times it has recently extended its stock holding of these products.

Jena Tec, part of the Avingtrans plc Engineering Technology Group, has substantially increased its finished and part finished ballscrew stocking to allow more effective servicing of its respective markets. Following substantial capital investment in the latest thread whirling, grinding and process machinery, Jena Tec is able to provide ex-stock availability of precision rolled, ground and hard whirled ballscrew assemblies from grades IT1 to IT10. Special sizes and make to print services are also available.

Jena Tec is pleased to introduce the new SBG(S) - C type linear guides adopt existing 4 row circular arc internal geometry and can therefore interchange with any carriage now operating on SBC standard rail profile.

Ball Screws are mechanical devices for converting rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa. Ball Screws have become an integral part in modern machine tools due to their positional accuracy, load bearing characteristics and low friction when compared with lead screws, however little has changed in design since the first use of the ball screw in machine tools some decades ago. A common misconception is that to improve a ball screw all that is necessary is to improve lead accuracy, whilst improvement in lead accuracy is important, there are many areas in which design improvements can have significant impact on overall machine performance.

Jena Tec has introduced its VT and HD ballscrew-driven linear actuators to Europe. The products are already available in the US where they have been used in military, medical, hydraulic and pneumatic replacement, metal forming and flight simulation applications.

Research at the University of Manchester has demonstrated servo systems with vastly improved dynamics with the most challenging of loads. The key to the increased performance is a torque transducer from Sensor Technology employing Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) techniques to deliver high-bandwidth, non-contact solution.

Jena Tec is pleased to announce the introduction of a new range of high performance linear modules to the UK market to complement its existing range of heavy duty HD & VT linear actuators, precision ground and rolled JT series ballscrews and spindle assemblies.
