Brand: Uhing (made in Germany)

The RG series of Rolling Ring Drives are the original aluminum bodied traversal units. They are friction drives which convert the constant rotation of a plain round shaft into reciprocating motion. A unique technology first invented by Uhing from Germany, widely used in the Wire and Cable Winding industry.

They operate like nuts on a threaded bar, however the pitch both left and right-hand is capable of fine adjustment or set to zero.

This effect is achieved by using ball bearing based Rolling Rings which are designed to pivot about the shaft, their specially crowned running surfaces being pressed against the shaft as it rotates. High quality product made in Germany by Uhing.

Main advantages of the Uhing Rolling Ring Principle:

  • automatic reciprocating motion*
  • variable adjustment of traverse speed up to 4.2 m/sec max, also different from both directions *
  • variable adjustment of traverse length
  • high dynamics at the reversal points
  • low operating costs

*at constant speed and direction of shaft rotation

The RGK series of Rolling Ring Drives are the latest generation of high-tech plastic bodied traversal units. Designed and built to be cost effective, their durability upholds proudly the brand of quality that Uhing has built over the decades.
