GEARS & GEARBOXES FEATURE
Poor products also impact the manufacturer by disrupting production,
causing extra costs and damaging reputation. Investing in a high quality motor gearbox system ensures it will deliver the required loads at the correct speed and reach a sufficient operating lifetime. EMS develops close relationships with customers to make sure
components are understood, designed, tested and validated appropriately before reaching production to safeguard their success. By only working with reliable suppliers, we ensure our customers
are provided with consistently high quality parts that meet product demands. We also use ISO 9001 quality management systems that make sure documentation is well managed from all areas of the business, from project conception to completion.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS There are a number of additional options customers can consider when trying to achieve an optimised solution with maximised functionality. A magnetic or optical encoder, for example, can easily be added to the motor to deliver precise control over speed and positioning. If accurate sensing is required upstream of the motor or at the output
of the gearbox, a bespoke solution can allow integration of the encoder elsewhere in the gear train. Other sensing options include potentiometers for position control or microswitches for endstop detection. Another potential add-on is an electromagnetic brake, which can be
fitted to the gearbox to provide holding torque once the power is removed. This allows the system to come to a full stop and hold a position at a reasonably high torque for a long amount of time, and is particularly useful in medical devices. Mechanical slipping clutches are also a popular option, and are
commonly used to protect against overloads. They can be integrated internally or into a product geartrain – wherever the output of the product is required to slip at a particular overload torque or the internal gear train needs protecting from shock loads. At EMS, we also manufacture bespoke wiring looms, which allow the
motor system to have specific connections that complement existing electrical systems.
MANUFACTURING IN THE UK By manufacturing in the UK, communication is easier between a customer and a local manufacturer, allowing close support throughout the whole project timeline. It also allows physical meetings, when possible, to help the manufacturer fully understand the component’s end application, or to help the customer gain clarity on the production steps needed to make their product. EMS is UK based, with design engineers at its manufacturing facility
in Poole and a sales team around the country. Our design expertise and wealth of experience, combined with our commitment to effective communication with our customers, ensures an optimal motor system is chosen that is ideal for the end application.
