Products for Wire/Cable Industries

Planetary Epicyclic Differentials
The Type SA planetary epicyclic drive is the latest generation of Rotomission® technology. This compact, versatile differential consists of three elements which are mechanically connected by the sun and planet gears.  Combining the motion of the three elements solves many electro-mechanical drive problems.  Applications include reducer/increaser, two or more speeds, phase-shifting, precise speed adjustment, creation of relative speed while running, cyclic synchronization of two speeds, timing movements, and balance speed & torque.

Catep Multispeed Transmissions
This line of multispeed transmissions features 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 speeds in one gearbox housing, and from 12 to 288 speeds by coupling up to 4 boxes. Available in 7 sizes over the entire ratio range, with ratings from 5 to 800 hp at 1,500 rpm. Reversing gearboxes are available that can change the direction of rotation either manually or electrically. Applications include wire stranding, wire cabling, take-ups, payoffs, capstans, caterpillar drives, test benches, multi-spindle drilling machines and textile processing.

• Lay Control on Twisted Wire

Z-Series Spiral-Bevel Gearboxes
The new Z-Series Precision Spiral-Bevel Gearbox range was streamlined from the R-Series to increase the number of common parts, while lowering costs and reducing lead times.  Available in 7 sizes & 6 model types, they feature high-quality, case-hardened & lapped alloy steel spiral-bevel gears, cut by the Klingelnberg method.  This high quality level insures low noise, backlash, and transmission error. These versatile units can be used as both reducers and increasers. Two shaft, three shaft, forward, neutral, and reverse models are available with horsepower ratings from 2 hp to 540 hp. Solid through-shafts and hollow bores are also available.
