Installation of Mounted Components
Application: Profile Cutting Machine
Problem:
The equipment uses a plasma jet to cut precision profiles from sheet or plate metal.
The cutting head is moved around by a steel belt which is driven by a pulley. Traditional
bushings with keyways were not able to provide the repeated cutting accuracy due
to high levels of reversing torque giving rise to backlash and fretting around the
keyway.
Solution:
Trantorque GT was used to mount the pulley. The lack of a keyway ensured zero backlash
and, as a result, sustained cutting accuracy. In addition, eliminating fretting
around the keyway area ensured minimal product failure and subsequent maintenance
downtime.
