Andantex has several product lines designed to solve applications in the Wire/Cable Industries. A brief description of these lines is provided below:

Planetary Epicyclic Differentials- SA/SR

The type SA/SR 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 or 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 and torque.

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 6 sizes over the entire ratio range, with ratings from 5 to 350 hp at 1,500 rpm. Manual reversing gearboxes are available that change the direction of rotation. 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 Z-Series 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.

• Roll Stand Drive

Merobel Electromagnetic Particle Brakes ( EMP), Clutches and Torque Limiters

Merobel EMP brakes and clutches are combined with the DGT 300 Digital tension controller on unwind and rewind stands to insure precise wire tension control. Torque is proportional to correct and independent of slip speed in these world famous EMP brakes and clutches. This provides constant web tension over the entire machines operating speed range.
