Winches, rack jacks, and reducers that self-lock without brakes are widely adopted in semiconductor devices, with the key factors being lightweight, compact design, and space-saving!
We have developed a number of applied products featuring a unique load-holding function with a reduction mechanism (Shoji-lock), which have been well received by our customers.
<Shoji-lock Product Features>
- When rotation is applied from the input side, the output side decelerates and transmits power, but rotation is not possible from the output side = self-locking function. This means that it can hold a load at the desired position without the need for a brake.
- Compared to worm reduction gears with the same self-locking function, it is highly efficient. Additionally, while worms have input and output axes that are orthogonal, our design has the input and output shafts aligned in a straight line (in-line), making it considerably more compact and space-saving, as well as lightweight.
- Unlike ratchets or one-way clutches, it can hold a load at any position where movement is stopped, regardless of the direction of rotation. Furthermore, there is no ratchet noise, making it suitable for use in quiet environments.
- It has a basic sealed structure (IP65) and is maintenance-free.
- We offer a variety of applied products, including reduction gears that utilize this self-locking mechanism, winches, and linear actuators (rack jacks).
- Stainless steel versions are also available for each model, suitable for clean room applications.
