Servo systems aren’t the only solution for precision motion control applications. Other gear products can t the bill when more traditional drive technology is desired. We recently had a customer inquire into a solution for a motion control problem he had in his production of precision bellows. The design was a continuous process of feeding a substrate that was systematically folded and then cut o into either standard or custom lengths. His problem was that the material length between folds was inconsistent, which aected the proper compression of the bellow. He was presently trying to use industrial spiral bevel gearboxes, with each turn of the bevel box making multiple folds. To us the problem was immediately obvious. He was having a transmission error problem. Transmission error is rar
