Any machine required to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will benefit from the continuous, reliable performance offered by Danaher Motion's new Micron EverTRUE gear head Applications such as printing, packaging and paper manufacturing are ideally suited to the new gear head which is designed to last for over 30,000 hours of continuous use - more than three times the life expectancy of other gear heads on the market today

Linear guides combine precision and longevity
Miniature linear guides that offer high accuracy and longevity in order to enhance production efficiency provide extremely smooth, 'whisper quiet', single rail operation.
Self lubricating ball screws break 20,000h barrier
A self lubricating ball screw has been successfully tested for over 20000 hours continuous operation.
Other products are only designed for standard intermittent duty cycles, while the Micron EverTRUE handles high duty cycles with no dwells.
Another advantage is that Micron EverTRUE operates at much lower temperatures than industry-standard gear heads, while still having an ultra precision specification of four arc minutes of backlash at 95% efficiency.
Maintenance is also a thing of the past with Micron EverTRUE.
The gear head is "grease" lubricated for life, it never leaks and so avoids the maintenance and associated downtime of many other gear heads currently being used in continuous applications.
Micron EverTrue also overcomes the installation problems caused by other gear heads.
Danaher Motion has ensured that its latest release is fully compliant with their RediMount mounting system.
This error-free, three-step system is motor specific rather than gear head specific, ensuring quick and simple installation of any gear head to any motor within the same frame size.
The Micron EverTRUE now comes in 100, 140 and 180mm frame sizes with ratios from 4:1 to 100:1.
The size 100 is already shipping, and the 140mm and 180mm units will be in full production in June.
Micron EverTRUE is the most effective solution for application which demands continuous, reliable performance.
