Traverse units

From rotary to linear motion.

Rotlin units turn the rotary motion of a smooth shaft into reciprocating linear motion, with adjustable pitch.

They work like a screw and nut, using special swivelling bearings pressed against the shaft. They suit every winding mechanism — spooling, quilling, warping and coning — of any material, and solve many other mechanical transmission problems.

How the traverse units work

  • 6 contact points: the outer rings of the bearings, pressed against the sliding shaft by preloaded spring packs.
  • Knob with graduated ring for micrometric pitch adjustment.
  • Hardened and ground steel shaft, minimum surface hardness 60 HRC, h6 tolerance.
  • Very compact, minimal mounting space.
  • Release lever for fitting and moving the unit along the shaft.
  • Instant reversal: perfectly parallel windings.
  • Maintenance-free: just clean and lubricate the shaft periodically.
