Redex USA will showcase its portfolio of high-performance drives for machine tool applications at the 2024 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), Level 3, Booth 236016, in Chicago, Illinois, held September 9 through September 14.

The Redex machine tool lineup features preloaded rack and pinion solutions for linear axis drives, ring gear and pinion for rotary axis drives, and two speed spindle drive gearboxes providing constant power to the spindle. Redex rack and pinion dedicated reducers are uniquely designed to provide high stiffness and work in combination with DualDRIVE mechanical and TwinDRIVE electrical preloading technologies to eliminateSource: Redex USA backlash and ensure precise positioning over the entire axis length.

Visitors to the Redex booth will see:
- Redex’ latest SRP+ and KRP+ rack and pinion dedicated reducers. These enhanced gearing solutions feature minimal transmission error for smooth operation and low noise while providing an excellent surface finish when driving machine tool axes. Thanks to continuous enhancements, SRP+ and KRP+ rack and pinion dedicated reducers offer 7% to 40% greater torque capacity compared to previous versions.

- Dual KRP rack and pinion drive. This closed-loop system combines two KRP reducers and a DualDRIVE mechanical preload to eliminate backlash. Only one motor is required to drive the axis.

- MSR high-torque VTC table drive. Combining two identical right angle two-speed gearboxes that equally share the driving torque during turning, this turntable drive delivers precise, C-axis motion without backlash for milling and drilling operations.
