Mechanical power transmission is the transfer of mechanical motion between two components. In most cases, the rotation of the primary mover is what causes the movement of the driven component. The driven component's movement may be rotational or linear based on application needs. Torque, speed, and direction may also be altered during this transfer of mechanical energy.
Motor-ready linear actuators and sliding components turn rotary motion into linear motion, providing a variety of X-Y and X-Y-Z positioning system solutions. Options for mounting stepper or servo motors as well as a full selection of accessories are available to complete a linear motion system.
Stepper motor linear actuators are stepper motors that incorporate a lead screw as the rotor, which translates motor torque into linear thrust. These actuators are often used with undriven linear slides or linear shafts/linear supports.

Precision ground linear shafts, shaft supports, and bearings are a tight-tolerance means of supporting sliding linear loads while providing smooth operation with minimal maintenance. The shafts' surface finish is optimized for plain and ball bearings.
Aluminum linear shafts and bearings offer a cost-effective means of supporting sliding linear loads while providing smooth, maintenance-free operation.

Worm gearboxes (worm gear speed reducers) consists of a worm gear (spiraled shaft) that engages with and drives a toothed gear (worm wheel). These gearboxes will drive a load at a reduced fixed ratio of the motor speed. Output torque is increased by that same ratio, while horsepower is unchanged minus some efficiency losses. This category includes:
Like worm gearboxes, helical gearboxes drive a load at a reduced ratio of motor speed. Output torque is increased; horsepower is unchanged minus some efficiency losses. Helical gearboxes utilize helical gears with teeth that are cut at an angle. This causes a gradual engagement of teeth between gears, providing quieter operation, greater load capacity, and higher speed capability. This category includes:
Strain wave gearboxes offer many advantages over planetary and helical gearboxes. Strain wave technology allows for a higher gear ratio and efficiency in an inline form-factor and smaller size. Many different gear ratios and output shaft sizes are available and are designed to work without SureServo2 and SureStepper motors.
The PGA series of inline planetary gearboxes has a thread-in mounting style, along with a level of precision and torque capacity that is best in its class. The PGB series of right-angle planetary gear reducers offers similar technical specifications to the PGA series and provides an excellent solution when space and clearance requirements are limited. PGD series gearboxes with compact design and hub-style output are ideal for equipment that requires high-speed, high-precision indexing movement. The LS Electric MSS series of high precision gear reducers are specifically designed to mate to LS Electric L7C and L7P series servo motors.
The SureGear PGCN series is a great gearbox value for servo, stepper, and other motion control applications requiring a NEMA size input/output interface. It offers the best quality available for the price point. Features include:
Rack and pinion systems are a type of linear actuator consisting of a rotating pinion that drives a linear rack, converting rotary motion to linear motion. Helical rack and pinion systems offer the most cost-effective installation for linear movements over 2 meters.
WON linear bearing guides and rails are available in three different series to meet the needs of your linear motion application. All guide/rail systems provide 4-direction equal load sharing in any direction for lower friction and smooth motion.
Timing pulleys, bushings, and belts allow speed and torque change while connecting mechanically rotating components.
Drive couplings are used to couple the shafts of various mechanical devices and compensate for misalignment.
For use in all SureMotion drive coupling hubs to reduce bore size.
