Precision Line Shafts - More Widely Used Thanks to Localized Production
R+W America
All-in-one precision line shaft couplings are fast becoming the most popular method of synchronizing motion between belt drive and screw jack actuators, thanks to improved accessibility and shortened lead times. The idea of using a single-component solution to precisely link rotating shafts in large platform motion systems is not new, however uncertainty in exact machine layouts and unforeseen structural issues as projects come together have often made the relatively long lead times of this kind of tailor-made product prohibitive.
