Bearing Blocks

Supplied as a pair for either a 5mm (Order Code N30BQ) or 6mm (Order Code N31BQ) diameter shaft, these bearing blocks are perfect as supports for a drive axle.

Heavy Duty Motors with Planetary Gearboxes

Designed for heavy duty industrial & modeling applications, these robust modules boast a powerful high quality five pole motor with sintered bronze bearings. The all metal gearbox incorporates bronze output bearings, enabling the high torque transfer from the motor to be transmitted through the gearbox. Advantages of Planetary gearboxes: Planetary gearboxes can be above 90% efficient, while some other types of transmission can be 50% efficient or less. This allows the use of smaller motors. Planetary gearboxes can be half the size of conventional boxes. Weight savings can be as high as 60%, allowing smaller, lighter support structures. Planetary gears can be equally efficient in either direction. This is an advantage for use in running machinery in both clockwise & anti-clockwise directions. The coaxial configuration of input & output shafts allows Planetary gears to be installed in line with a motor & a machine.

Push Solenoid

• Easy to mount with an axial locking nut
• 12V @ 220mA

The SD181 push solenoid represents a general purpose axial solenoid ideal for use in a variety of applications. As well as the convenient mounting offered by a locking nut, the plunger also has a circlip fitted to prevent it from being removed from the main body of the solenoid.
