The TECDOS OMEGA DRIVE drive is suitable for continuous linear movements (linear drive) or rotational movements. It is typically used in onshore and offshore projects to move harbour and ships’ cranes, to align and adjust ship loaders and unloaders and also to open and close cargo space covers. When rotating, the OMEGA drive is also used to lift and lower platforms, drive ferries and extend telescopic booms and skidding systems.

The OMEGA DRIVE is superior to comparable rack and pinion and sprocket wheel solutions. It is less sensitive to dirt, sand, ice, etc., is easier to mount and tolerates deviations of alignment. The  modular concept allows the drive through electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motors, at order point electric motor can be supplied.

Advantages of the OMEGA Drive:

• OMEGA DRIVE even runs even when other drives or chains reach their limits
• Resistant to ice, dirt, rain and aggressive environments
• Approval by major maritime classification societies
• Mobile or fixed drive, depending on what you need
• Chain speed 1 – 6 m/minute with full load, up to12 m/minute with part load
• Special painting possible

The RUD OMEGA drive is used across a wide range of industries and offers solutions for applications such as: moving ship cranes, tracking solar panels to the sun, or simply traversing a machine.

Application Areas:

• Linear travel, fixed drive and moving chain / equipment
• Moving drive and fixed chain / equipment
• Fixed drive and rotating chain / equipment
• Fixed chain, drive / equipment moving along curved path
