KHK USA Inc.
KHK USA Inc. (Mineola, NY) introduced magnetic, non-contact gears, couplings, racks and pinions and speed reducers from KHK Motion Drives for contamination-sensitive, cleanroom and high-precision power transmission applications. The magnetic non-contact gearing range is designed for lubrication-free, particle-free, quiet power transmission with built-in overload protection and can be used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, medical devices and food processing equipment.
KHK USA Inc.
Features:
- Eliminates tooth surface contact to completely prevent wear-particle generation, making components ideal for contamination-sensitive processes
- Requires no lubrication due to non-touching gear surfaces, reducing maintenance costs and eliminating oil/grease contamination risks in cleanrooms and vacuum chambers
- Prevents collision and friction noise caused by traditional gear tooth engagement, delivering smoother and quieter motion control.
- Built-in magnetic slip when loads exceed allowable torque ratings, protecting motors and connected equipment without requiring separate mechanical torque limiters
- Uses permanent magnets with low demagnetization rate of 0.1% per year (~1% strength reduction after 10 years), maintaining stable torque transmission and low total cost of ownership
