We also offer Sealmaster Gold Line beverage bearings as well as hanger bearings and rubber mounted pillow blocks, flange blocks and cartridge units.
We can fulfil the requirements of most drive applications with our flexible shaft couplings:
When the torque demand exceeds a preset limit in a drive system, the Morse Torque Limiter automatically slips to protect the system from damage until the torque overload has passed, then re-engages automatically with no re-set requirement. The simple design of this economical yet durable limiter means minimal maintenance and ease of adjustment, and can prevent expensive downtime and equipment repairs. The Morse Torque Limiter is flexible and has a torque range of 3 to 8540 Nm.
We stock an extensive range of standard gears, and with our short lead time capability on custom gears, we can fulfil any open gear drive requirement.
Our standard stock gears include straight cut bevel and mitre gears in medium carbon steels. We also offer a new range of 20 deg PA spur gears with up to 120 teeth in medium carbon steel. We supply straight racks for combining with standard spur gears for an economical conversion from rotary to linear motion.
We can modify our standard gears by the addition of heat treatment for use in rigorous conditions or reworking the faces and bores. We can also manufacture custom gears and racks.
Our Classical Timing Belt Drives are available in three sizes, are particularly suited to applications of up to 25 KW. We stock an extensive range of belts and pulleys, and we can supply open ended and double-sided belts.
The Metric Series of Hight Torque Drive (HTD) Belt Drives that utilise a new parabolic tooth profile with increased tooth contact between pulley and belt, offers reduced noise, increased power and greater shear stress resistance.
Our Polyurethane Timing Belts are well suited to applications involving food production and paper transportation systems.
We also supply V belt pulleys as well as a comprehensive range of timing belt drive ancillaries.
