Industrial Clutch Parts Limited will showcase advanced motion control components from Nexen Group at MACH 2026, held from April 20–24 at the NEC Birmingham.
The exhibition focuses on precision motion control systems and industrial automation components, with particular emphasis on high-load, high-accuracy positioning technologies.
Technical concept: roller pinion and rack system
The featured solution is Nexen’s Roller Pinion and Rack system, designed to deliver high precision and load capacity in demanding applications. The system uses rollers supported by needle bearings to transmit motion, enabling higher torque handling compared to traditional gear-based systems.
A key characteristic is the elimination of backlash. The design ensures that multiple rollers engage opposing tooth surfaces simultaneously, maintaining continuous contact and preventing positional play.
This configuration enables:
- High positioning accuracy
- Stable motion under variable loads
- Consistent performance across long travel distances
The proprietary rack tooth profile further supports smooth engagement and load distribution, improving system durability and operational consistency.
Performance in demanding applications
The roller pinion system is suited for applications requiring precise linear motion under challenging conditions, including high speeds, long travel lengths, and complex geometries.
Typical use cases include:
- Automated manufacturing systems
- Material handling equipment
- Large-scale positioning systems
- Industrial machinery requiring repeatable precision
The zero-backlash characteristic is particularly relevant in applications where positional accuracy directly affects product quality or system performance.
Engineering and system integration
Nexen designs and manufactures motion control components for integration into a wide range of industrial systems. The roller pinion solution supports flexible system design, allowing engineers to adapt configurations to specific operational requirements.
The system’s ability to maintain performance regardless of length or geometry simplifies implementation in large or complex installations, where conventional drive systems may face limitations.
Event and demonstration context
At MACH 2026, Industrial Clutch Parts will demonstrate the system’s capabilities and provide technical insights into its integration within industrial automation environments.
The exhibition offers an opportunity for engineers and system integrators to evaluate motion control solutions designed for precision, reliability, and scalability in modern manufacturing systems.
Industry relevance
As industrial automation advances, demand for high-performance motion systems continues to grow. Technologies that combine precision, load capacity, and reliability are increasingly important in applications where accuracy and uptime are critical.
The roller pinion system represents an approach to addressing these requirements through mechanical design innovations that enhance motion control performance.
