To meet trends in the printing industry, SKF has developed a unique oscillating drive unit to drive and control the distribution rollers in a printing machine.
The newly designed unit provides:
–  Higher machine flexibility to handle smaller batch printings
–  Increased automation and better control of the rollers
–  Improved printing quality
–  Simplified mounting and exchange
–  Less maintenance
–  Reduction of waste.

The oscillating drive unit is an advanced mechatronic unit that incorporates two drive motors, various bearings, a ball screw, two encoders and different sealing solutions. Fully enclosed, it provides a reliable, maintenance-free and programmable drive unit.
