The Rolling ring traverse drive is a linear drive based on the Rolling ring drive principle. The traverse converts the motion of a smooth, non-threaded shaft, by rotating in only one direction, into totally backlash free reciprocating linear motion. Automatic reciprocating travel is achieved with a constant shaft speed and single direction of shaft rotation, with automatic reversal at set positions, which is changeable by the user, or controlled by pneumatic or electromagnetic actuators.
Such drives are equipped with infinitely variable pitch, which is the linear travel per shaft revolution, which can be set from zero to 76mm depending on unit size. The maximum linear speed for instantaneous reversal (winding applications) is 0.25m/s and a speed of up to 4.2m/s can be achieved by utilising slowdown reversal systems.
The Smooth Shaft Traverse Unit feature a simple “free-movement lever” mechanism that allows you to manually disengage and reposition the traverse unit on the shaft. All functions, such as, reversal, stroke width, pitch per revolution and free-movement, can be remotely controlled and heavy loads can be accommodated with additional load carriers.
Our rolling ring traverse units are suitable for many industries, such as, winding and spooling, general drive, surface treatment, measuring and testing, materials handling, converting, packaging, tyre manufacture, cutting machines and more.
Uhing Rolling Ring Drives have long been the industry standard for the control of winding wire or cable onto spools, but they also offer a real alternative to other linear drive systems for almost any project.
They have numerous advantages to other technologies like timing belts and threaded spindles in regards to smooth operation, environmental sealing and backlash/overload protection. Rolling ring drives should always be considered whenever permanent reciprocating movement is required.
Rolling ring drive unit have brought further innovations to the rolling ring drive concept by adding automation options for almost all control parameters of the drive. Traverse speed, end-point-reversal and the ability to remain stationary on a rotating shaft. These are all remotely controllable with no need to alter the shaft speed.
