1. June 18, 2008 — Heavy Duty Linear Drive with 800 Lbs Thrust -- Reverses Direction Automatically without Reversing Drive Motor
   Aston, PA, June 2008 - Amacoil/Uhing has introduced the model RG80 linear drive which supplies up to 800 pounds of side thrust for heavy load linear motion applications. The drive features "rolling ring" linear motion engineering enabling mechanical control over reversal thereby eliminating the need for electronic controls and a reversible motor. Additionally, linear pitch (speed) may be manually adjusted without gear reduction or adjusting drive motor speed.
2. January 17, 2008 — Shaft Collar with Adjustable Clamping Control Prevents Tools & Reels from Slipping on Shaft
   Aston, PA, January 2008 - EasyLock(TM) shaft collars, from Amacoil/Uhing, install quickly without special tools for non-slip holding of tools and reels on smooth, case hardened (Rockwell 55 or higher) shafts. Holding force may be adjusted from 90 to 1,124 pounds using the hand operated control on the EasyLock clamping unit. A quick-release feature facilitates frequent changeovers to help reduce downtime and maintain high production rates. Applications include securing tools, reels or other...
3. November 1, 2007 — Linear Drive Pitch Control Works Independently of Motor - Eliminates Gears, Cams, Clutches & Other Controls
   Linear drive pitch control works independently of motor - eliminates gears, cams, clutches & other controls
4. August 21, 2007 — Load Platform Protects Linear Drive Bearings, Improves Performance
   Load platform relieves radial forces on linear drive -- increases bearing lifespan; improves performance
5. July 18, 2007 — Load Platform Relieves Radial Forces on Linear Drive -- Increases Bearing Lifespan; Improves Performance
   Aston, PA, July 2007 - To protect the "rolling ring" bearings in Uhing linear drives from undue wear resulting from radial forces, Amacoil now offers a linear bearing slide option on drive assemblies. The linear slide load carrier is recommended when the tool or other payload being moved is mounted so that it creates overturning moments which can interfere with the drive's function and place undesirable pressure on the bearings.
6. May 15, 2007 — New One-Piece Shaft Collar Holds Reels & Tools Secure
   Aston, PA, April 2007 - Amacoil/Uhing has introduced the U-Clip shaft collar, a one-piece slide on shaft collar that locks in place when released. In machinery or for static applications, affordable quick release U-Clip collars hold reels and tools in place whether on hardened or non-hardened shafts.
7. April 6, 2007 — Software Simplifies Linear Drive Selection - Assures Application Requirements for Speed and Side Thrust are Met
   Aston, PA, November 2006 -- Amacoil technical salespeople now use the UH5 software program from Uhing Company to quickly analyze linear motion application requirements and assure selection of the correct size Uhing rolling ring drive. Application data may be submitted by telephone or using forms on the Amacoil web site. The program rapidly determines side thrust requirements, selects the correct size Uhing linear drive and provides other useful technical specifications and diagrams.
8. February 16, 2007 — Linear Drive Travel Length Adjusts Automatically On-the-Fly - Without Electronic Controls or Programming
   Aston, PA, February 2007 - A reciprocating linear motion assembly from Amacoil/Uhing enables automatic increase or decrease of the travel distance on-the-fly without requiring programming or electronic controls. Actuated as the drive moves, a mechanical mechanism on the assembly "ratchets" the end stops farther apart or closer together in specific increments which are set using a dial. As the end stops move, the stroke length changes accordingly.
9. September 15, 2006 — Grease Fitting Option for Linear Drive Automatically Lubricates Shaft While Wipers Remove Dirt and Grime
   Aston, PA, September 2006 - Amacoil now offers a grease fitting option which attaches to the shaft wipers on Uhing rolling ring drive assemblies. When the drive is running the grease fittings facilitate automatic shaft lubrication while the wipers clean the shaft, removing dust and dirt and preventing undue build up of grease.
10. July 18, 2006 — Adjust linear pitch on positioning drive without changing gears or motor speed
    Aston, PA, July 2006 - The Amacoil/Uhing model RS linear drive now offers a wider range of linear pitch settings for improved versatility and functionality in meeting linear motion application requirements. The change to linear pitch requires no re-gearing or adjustment to motor speed. Nor do any other components of the linear motion system have to be changed unlike other types of systems where changing pitch might require the purchase of major new parts such as screws, gearboxes and clutches.
