The Versatile Force Transmitters

Shaft couplings, gear wheels, compact worm gear units and bevel gear units - Winco designs durable standard elements for drive technology

As is well known, a motor alone does not make a drive; it needs a few things more. Shaft couplings, for example, which transmit forces without loss and yet compensate for misalignment tolerances. Winco has them. Equally precise and versatile: the angular gear units and worm gear units for easy assembly and high torques. Winco even supplies gear wheels - even in polyamide. Universal joints, universal joint shafts, rod ends, angle joints and quick-connect couplings round off the portfolio.

Gears

Bevel gear boxes GN 3971 and worm gear reducers GN 3975 can transmit high torque despite their very compact dimensions. They can readily be used for a multitude of applications and require no maintenance.

Gear boxes from Winco feature the following advantages:

  • Maintenance-free
  • Long service life
  • Very quiet operation
  • Encapsulated housing to prevent the entry of dust
  • Low backlash on reversal
  • More mounting options

Gear Wheels

Polyamide gears and racks for fixture mechanics are preferably used when high torques are transmitted at low speeds. Among other things, they are used in packaging machines, in equipment for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and in food production. In combination, the components are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. Similarly, synchronous, symmetrical or even proportional motion sequences can be easily implemented, as required for clamping jaws, grippers or synchronous motion, for example.


Universal Joints

Universal joints transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands.

Universal Joints Shafts

Universal joint shafts transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle, offset and distance to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands. The length compensation is achieved with a splined shaft, which is inserted into a sliding sleeve.


Rod End Bearings

Ball joint heads transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms and are insensitive to wear, especially under high alternating loads and impact in a radial/axial direction.

Clevis Fork Joints, Clevis Fork Heads

Fork joints, fork heads and joint pieces transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms. Several varieties with pins secured in different ways as well as a rotatable designs are available.


Threaded Ball Joint Linkages

Angled ball joints are composed of ball sockets and spherical pivots. They transfer traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms that can rotate and be at an angular offset relative to each other.

Axial Ball Joints

Ball joints allow holders for scanners, lighting or monitors to be positioned precisely and smoothly about the ball pivot point. Thanks to the efficient clamping mechanism, only small amounts of torque result in comparatively strong clamping pressure on the ball.


Quick-Fit Couplings

Quick-fit couplings are used to compensate for a radial offset, such as of a pressure cylinder piston rod relative to the driven component. Depending on the design, even gap-free compensation of an angled offset is possible.

Couplings

Couplings create connections between drive shafts and driven shafts in order to transmit rotary motion and torque. For example, they are used to combine the shafts of motors and transmissions into a single drive unit.

Alongside the primary purpose of transmitting torque, couplings also carry out other important tasks:

  • Compensating for shaft offsets and misalignments
  • Absorbing runout errors and axial motions
  • Damping vibrations and shocks

Couplings are used in a very wide range of applications. The spectrum ranges from simple drives to complex control, regulation and measurement applications.
