Drives with rotating rings Uhing series RGK /ARGK they work on the principle of converting the rotation of a shaft with a round profile into reciprocating movements with wide possibilities for fine-tuning the pitch. Outstanding efficiency and dynamics of work, low maintenance requirements. The main areas for the application of these mechanisms are the following production processes: winding and laying of tape materials, surface treatment, packaging, positioning technology, transformation and feeding of movements, synchronous cutting, measurements and numerous other operations.
The RGK version includes only the clamshell unit itself, which is equipped with a scroll wheel with a tuning scale (from 1 to 10), an assembly platform and a mechanical freewheel lever. The ARGK version is a fully equipped installation with a shaft, bearing blocks, guides and adjustable end stops. Instant automatic U-turn using a spring mechanism.
