Torque Transmission has added another tool for motion control design engineers to its lineup of high-quality right angle gear boxes and speed reducers: the Miniature RA-300 Gear Drive.
The Miniature RA-300 Gear Drive measures 1.25 inches in height, width, and depth and features 0.250-inch diameter single input shaft, and single or double output shaft mounted in radial ball bearings.
The RA-300 is a machined aluminum housing, steel case hardened helical gears in 1:1 and 2:1 ratios. The RA-300 is rated for 1/8 Hp at 1800 rpm with output torque of 4.4 inch lbs. (1:1 ratio) and 8.8 inch lbs. (2:1 ratio). Total weight of the unit is 6.1 oz.
"Our high-quality right angle gear boxes and speed reducers are manufactured for a wide spectrum of applications," said John W. Rampe, Torque Transmission's president. "We most likely have a right angle gearbox and speed reducer to fit your needs. If we don't, please let us know and we'll modify or custom design a speed reducer for your specific application. We invite design engineers to use our website, http://www.TorqueTrans.com, as a resource to access complete specifications including 3-D drawings for all of our products."
"Our application support is always available to help size the correct reducer for your product.," Mr. Rampe continued. "If your specification is different from our standard gearboxes, we will work with you toward a creative and economical solution."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
