Can tension rails be adapted to specific industry requirements?
Yes, many manufacturers, including ATEK Drive Solutions, offer custom tension rails . This includes adaptations in material, dimensions, surface treatment, and mounting options for special applications.
What role do tension rails play in reducing vibrations and noise?
Tension rails, especially those made of damping materials like cast iron, minimize the transmission of vibrations from the motor to the machine structure. This leads to lower noise (up to 10 dB reduction) and increased smooth operation.
How do I choose the right tension rail for my application?
The selection depends on motor size, load, environmental conditions, and precision requirements . An expert consultation, as offered by ATEK Drive Solutions, helps with optimal design.
What does “system provider” mean in the context of tension rails and drive technology?
A system provider like ATEK Drive Solutions delivers not just individual components, but integrated drive solutions. This means that tension rails are optimally matched to motors, gear boxes, and brakes for maximum system efficiency.
What future developments can be expected for tension rails?
Future trends include smarter tension rails with sensor integration for predictive maintenance, the use of new, lighter materials while maintaining stability and improved systems for active vibration compensation.
Die the correct selection of a tension rail ensures precise alignment, reduces vibrations (e.g. by up to 10 dB) and can extend the lifespan of components by up to 10%.
