Custom Shafts

Custom Shafts

Custom Shafts by Nordex, Inc.

Shafts are seldom a simple round cylinder.

Special features on shafting is required for many applications.

Retaining ring grooves, flats, threaded/tapped ends, drilled holes and lubrication features.

“D” shaped shafts are an option to mount a Pulley using a Set-Screw.  Keyways are used to transfer torque on high powered mechanisms.

Ratchets & Pawls

A mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in one direction.

The pawl engages the teeth and prevents motion in the opposite direction. The maximum amount of reverse motion is limited to the distance between the teeth.

These are commonly used in machinery, tools and can function as a safety device.

Pinion and Gear

Pinion and Gear by Nordex

These matched gears are used to rotate shafts or axis in many applications such as Machinery, Robotics, Medical & Dental. High Precision & Anti-Backlash designs available when a high degree of accuracy and repeatability is required. Standard or custom sizes, various materials and ratios, Compact and Miniature designs offered in inch and metric sizes.

Cluster Gears

Drive two different mechanisms at the same time in the same machine. The cluster may consist of 2 gears, a gear and a pulley, 2 pulleys, or a Sprocket and a pulley.
Used in medical, office, industrial and packaging equipment. Allows for compact design, inch and metric sizes can be used on the same shaft.

Integral Pulley Assembly

This flanged pulley, hub and shaft assembly is used in Office equipment, Robotics, Packaging Industry and Diagnostic Equipment.

Power is transmitted to another axis at required speed ratios according to the application.

Other style options are gear, sprocket, spline or any combination. Bearings can also be incorporated.

The Assembly can be exposed or enclosed depending on material of choice.

Engineering & Quality Manufacturing

Engineering & Quality Manufacturing

Engineering & Quality Manufacturing by Nordex, Inc.

It is vitally important during the design stage for Quality, Manufacturing and Engineering teams to work together. With today’s technology long distance meetings are online with screen sharing. New ideas and concepts are brought to life along with Manufacturing Expertise.

Worm and Worm Shaft Systems

Worm/Worm shafts along with a worm wheel can provide
fine adjustment as well as a high gear reduction ratio.  Another
benefit is non-movement once power is eliminated.

These systems are used in many applications such as Robotics,
Aircraft, Medical etc.

Standard sizes available as well as custom design assisted systems.

Pinion Shaft

pinion shaft

Pinion Shafts by Nordex

The main drive member of a gear train assembly is the pinion shaft. Applied power is transferred from the pinion shaft to the rest of the gear assembly. Nordex manufacturers these in a one-piece construction to increase the ability to handle higher torque that may applied versus a two piece construction.

Helical Gear

helical gear

A helical Gear set used as a registration drive.

The device shown can fine adjust relative position and rotation of the drive element to the driven element. This can be accomplished at rest or while rotating. This device can be used with or without an integral clutch mechanism.
Allow Nordex to assist you in designing the proper drive system.

Custom Gears

This is a partial gear, light weight material with mounting holes to attach to a hub.

There is a curved slot for adjustment to assist in timing.

This type of gear would be used in Robotics, Optics/Medical, Defense.
