Zero-Max celebrates 75 Years of product successes with plans for the future
Becoming an industry-leading manufacturer of Motion Control and Power Transmission components came quickly for Zero-Max by being responsive to customer’s needs with innovative products and exceptional service. Its first product was a unique Mechanical Variable Speed Drive that solved application challenges in varied industries, with many of these drives still in use 75 years later. […]
Zero-Max overhung load adaptors and CD couplings for off-highway mobile equipment
The recent trend toward electrification minimizes the power requirement needed from internal combustion engines and can sometimes even replace internal combustion engines in a driveline of Off-Highway Equipment. The result is a greener, cleaner, sustainable energy alternative. Electric motors now being designed into mobile equipment have increased the importance of integrating high-performance mechanical components like […]
Miki Pulley power-off brakes in Serve Robotics’ autonomous level 4 self-driving robot
Today Miki Pulley announced that Serve Robotics, the leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, has chosen Miki Pulley’s industry-leading electro-magnetic power-off brakes to assist in safely controlling motion while Serve robots navigate busy city sidewalks to complete food deliveries. “Serve Robotics is a major innovator in autonomous robotic delivery, and we’re excited to be part of […]
Zero-Max stainless steel CD composite disc couplings with newly designed clamp collars
Zero-Max CD Couplings in Stainless Steel are suitable for use in systems where frequent washdowns are required, or where harsh environments could corrode the coupling components. They are often used for food, dairy, and cleanroom applications. Most important, they have a new feature — an enhanced Clamp Collar design to maximize strength and clamping force, […]
Zero-Max 212k and 412k Overhung Load Adaptor (OHLA)
When fluid power and power transmission products are discontinued, finding replacements can be challenging. Zero-Max now fills this Overhung Load Adaptor void with its new 212k and 412k OHLA models for 2-bolt SAE A mount and 4-bolt non-SAE mount applications requiring a 1-1/4-in. output shaft. For both new and replacement applications, these new OHLA models […]
ETP-HYLOC keyless shaft locking bushings from Zero-Max
Described as the first “Plug & Play” shaft locking bushing, the ETP-HYLOC from Zero-Max is a hydro-mechanical design featuring hydraulic quick connectors for mounting. This new design feature makes it faster and easier to install the ETP-HYLOC as compared to purely mechanical designs that have many fasteners requiring a high tightening torque, often being mounted […]
Zero-Max offers a variety of options for its Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushing product line
Zero-Max offers a variety of options within the Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushings (PSL) product line. Options include material choices, plating, and different mounting methods. These options give system designers the ability to select the best shaft locking device for their system. The PSL series allows the user to rigidly and reliably secure shaft-mounted components into […]
CD coupling provides improved Torsional stiffness for packaging machines
Achieving high torsional stiffness and zero backlash in a packaging system driveline is challenging and essential where precise alignment of the packaging materials is required for a consistent, quality product. Zero-Max application engineers met the challenge with a customized CD coupling. The original packaging system gearbox and driveline did not use a CD Coupling and […]
Zero-Max ServoClass couplings
Zero-Max announced that its ServoClass Couplings provide important reliability and misalignment advantages in servo motor, and stepper motor driven applications. Demanding applications require a coupling that holds up to shock loads caused by rapid acceleration and deceleration, start/stop conditions, and torque reversals in these servo-driven systems. According to Zero-Max testing and field experience, ServoClass Couplings […]
