Power Transmission takes the stage
27 April 2009
High power to weight ratio, exceptional quiet running, easy start-up, integrated limit switches and excellent reliability are the qualities that make the Framo Morat power transmission products the ideal choice for stage technology.
In the UK these products are available from precision engineering component specialist, RA Rodriguez.
At this years' Theatre Technicians Show visitors will be able to see the companys' Linear Chain and Compacta geared motors in operation on a special demonstration unit developed specifically for this application sector. In particular it shows how the low installation height of the Linear Chain creates a discrete but highly robust lifting mechanism. It also introduces a new version of the Compacta motor with a double braking system to meet the industrys' stringent safety standards.
The design of the precision chain links in the LinearChain Actuation System enables it to push as well as pull heavy loads. The special chain with interlocking links enables the chain to roll up for efficient storage in one direction and form a rigid thrust device in the other.
In the magazine the chain is stored spirally within a narrow chamber making it ideal for applications calling for long strokes where space is at a premium. It provides high positioning accuracy, constant stroke speed and shock-free motion.
It is ideally partnered with the Compacta Geared Motor to power lifting tables. Models in the range are up to 10 kg lighter than nearest competitors with the same output torque and speed. The ‘Compacta’ also provides 22 output speed options by comparison with the maximum of three available on alternatives and its' motor choices offer a wide range of power and duty cycles.
The designs' integral and easily adjustable mechanical limit switch contributes to the products' exceptional flexibility with a speed range 0.9 to 193 rpm and output torques from 6 to 600 Nm. New at the show will be the Compacta AG60 and MR30 models that are now available with a double brake in compliance for stage technology.
RA Rodriguez dedicated display of the Linear Chain and Compacta systems can be seen at the ABTT Theatre Show, Royal Agricultural Halls, Lindley Hall, stand 14, 10th & 11th June.
