Uhing at wire China 2010

RGK rolling ring drives

Uhing, the inventor of the rolling ring principle that converts the constant rotary movement of a plain shaft into a traversing movement, will be a member of the collective German booth at Wire China 2010 in Shanghai.

Uhing will not only showcase enhanced versions of the entry-level RGK rolling ring drives but also the modified RG15-2 and RG20-2 units. The range of tool-less Uhing-easylock® and U-Clip clamping elements will also be shown.

The RGK rolling ring drives feature housings of high tech material, are perfectly protected against corrosion and need not be converted when the rotating direction of the shaft changes. The RGK20-1 model for 20 mm shafts was equipped with a release lever fitted on the mounting surface, and its internal design was modified, which increased the thrust by approx. 20%. The design of the standard series units RG15-2 and RG20-2 with aluminium housings was matched to the larger types and optically enhanced by the black face covers.

All Uhing-asylock® clamping elements for plain shafts from 10 to 40 mm diameter have now been converted to version ELIII. Apart from weighing much less (up to 50%) and being less susceptible to vibration, this version features a better handling and is less prone to corrosion.

A third series for shaft diameters of 22 to 35 mm has been added to the U-Clip clamping elements that are also vibration-proof. Using the new retrofit Elasto Ring, jamming of the U-Clips with increased coil width during winding can be prevented. 60 years of experience in manufacturing rolling ring drives and an international network of agencies warrant the reliable operation of all Uhing Products in all wire manufacturing and processing sectors.
