R. A. RODRIGUEZ EXPANDS SLEW DRIVES RANGE WITH TGB SPUR GEAR SLEW DRIVES
Leading engineering distributor R. A. Rodriguez has expanded its range of slew drives to include high-performance spur gear slew drives. A spur gear slew drive is an innovative drive mechanism that incorporates turntable bearings and pinion gears to achieve precise movement and positioning.
R. A. Rodriguez is the sole distributor in the UK for TGB Group, a global provider of motion solutions. With decades of experience in supplying bearings and slewing rings, R. A. Rodriguez began its partnership with TGB in 2022 and added slew drives to its product range.
Spur gear slewing drives are engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability. They can withstand axial force, radial force and tilting moment torque. The spur gear mechanism, known for its efficiency and ability to transmit large amounts of power, ensures minimal backlash and consistent operation, even under the most demanding conditions.
This type of slew drive is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications requiring controlled rotational motion with high efficiency and reliability, including machine tools, cranes and automation.
The TGP Pinion series of spur gear slew drives consists of three models: TGP-L, TGP-M and TGP-H. Their design also makes them suitable for use in harsh environments, providing long-lasting durability and low maintenance requirements. Key benefits of the product are its high transmission accuracy and high output speed. Customised options are available.
R. A. Rodriguez will now be able to offer TGB Group’s innovative pinion drive solution for high-speed rotation applications to its customers. With over 50 years of experience in providing precision components to UK manufacturing companies, R. A. Rodriguez prides itself on offering a high level of support to its customers, including technical consultation, custom solutions and after-sales support.
