There are a number of motors and gearboxes to drive your leadscrew or belt and pulley system  with optional programmable control:

  • Where a lead screw is driven as an indirect drive, through a coupling, our complete range of dc motors and gearboxes is available.
  • For simple linear drives through a lead screw where thrust does not exceed 50N, we  offer our 229 and 220 gearbox with your lead screw substituted for the output shaft.  Lead screw up to 8mm diameters can be accommodated with  a pitch to your specification.
  • Belt and Pulley applications may be met with gearbox bearings designed to take side load together with a wide range of pulley options.

For all three options we offer feedback through incremental or absolute encoders with the added opportunity of controlling the linear motion with Red Drive programmable controller. This product enables you to use your system to the full capability of the motor gearbox: multiple speeds, stop/starts and programmes.

The complex design issues associated with the conversion of rotary to linear motion is an area of special expertise; if you need support please give our technical sales desk a call.
