Motion industries

Mechanical power transmission refers to products used in systems with moving parts as opposed to systems powered electrically. These products include shaft couplings, chains and sprockets, belts and sheaves, and drive components.

Pneumatics are machines designed to operate through gas or compressed air power. Pneumatics cover a wide range of applications, most commonly in the form of power tools, air brakes in motor vehicles, and other devices like compressors. Used across a broad spectrum of industries, pneumatics are often preferred because of their relative ease of use and low cost. Common types of pneumatic products include compressed air cylinders, available in standard and miniature sizes for varying applications, and directional control valves, which control the flow of compressed air. Directional control valves are also found in hydraulic systems and are commonly available in two-way, three-way, and four-way designs. Many types of pneumatic accessories are necessary to support pneumatic systems, with tubes and fittings essential pneumatic accessories.

Industrial chemicals, lubricants, and equipment cover a wide range of products used in a variety of applications. Industrial chemicals include hydraulic fluid, also known as hydraulic oil, which is used in manufacturing and automotive equipment and machinery. Coolants are used in high-speed metal cutting operations to prevent rust buildup and corrosion on tool edges. Lubricants include grease, motor and machine oil, and multipurpose penetrants. Lubrication equipment includes a wide array of grease fittings and components for automated lubricators.

Linear motion is motion that occurs in a straight line. Ball bushings are used on shafts and reduce friction in both axial and linear motions. Ball bushings can be self-aligning and offer good wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. Pillow block bearings, also known as plummer blocks, are bearings encased in a housing designed to offer support to rotating shafts.

Motion Industries offers a wide selection of Process Pumps and Equipment for your liquid transfer needs. Process Pumps are designed to transfer product within your process. We have various types of pumps that cover a wide array of applications including but not limited to commercial, industrial, sanitary, and chemical.

Material handling products are vital components to many industrial and manufacturing operations. Carts, trucks, and dollies safely move and maneuver heavy and large items. Casters come in a wide range of sizes and styles and are typically available with plates mounted to them. Key elements to consider when selecting casters include wheel diameter, load capacity, rolling force, and wheel material. Chains and sprockets, such as flat conveying chains and engineering class chains and sprockets, easily allow rotary motion and are used in motor vehicles, conveyors, and manufacturing machinery.
