During this past 2016, thanks to innovations in the electromechanics sector, projects which a few years ago would have been confined to science fiction have been developed. In this article of CLR’s blog we recap the best electromechanical engineering projects 2016 brought us.
3D printed injection moulds: advantages and limitations
The use of 3D printing for manufacturing injection moulds allows for prototypes to be made quickly and with high precision. The purpose of this system is accelerating and perfecting the design of the final part before mass production. In this article we analyse the advantages and disadvantages of this revolutionary system which is gradually being adopted by mechanical component manufacturing companies. Let’s begin.
8 industrial automation trade fairs you should not miss
With the New Year, your industrial company may be drafting or revising its budget allocation for 2017. When doing so, industrial trade fairs always lead the way as a source of contacts and business opportunities. But in this regard, it is common to wonder, which one is the most worthwhile? Which have been growing in importance during the last few years? This article covers the most important industrial automation trade fairs. Take note.
Parallel shaft gear motors, applications and advantages
On every electromechanical engineering project, it is of utmost importance to think about how each actuation is to be performed. In order to accomplish them, there are different types of gear motors on the market, but the best choice will depend on the movement we want to accomplish, the power, or the space that is available. In this article we introduce you to an actuation system that may be very useful for certain applications: the parallel shaft gear motors. Do you want to learn about its applications and advantages?

Tips for selecting small electric motors
Selection of the most appropriate electric motor for small applications results from analysing its load requirements for each application, as well as other more specific considerations such as work, system efficiency, motion requirements for the application, or the wear it is subjected to during its daily operation. We bring you some tips for you to select the right small electric motors. Keep reading!
Ford Mondeo: 23 years of history and innovation
The “world car” – this is how the American multi-national company baptised the Ford Mondeo (from Latin, Mundus). Its name may perhaps explain the company’s desire to design an affordable model with great features and advanced safety systems. Without a doubt, Ford set its sights high and hit the bullseye, receiving over 20 awards in several countries along the 23-year history of this iconic family car. We go over its evolution and its relationship with CLR!
Success story: Actuating system for fire barriers and smoke control
The industry of passive fire protection is constantly evolving. The new safety regulations and the wish to prevent further damage in the face of any fire-related accident have prompted the emergence of new fire control systems, such as: smoke control, luminous signs, fireproof treatments or fire barriers.
Differences between brushed and brushless motors
When developing an application that requires an electric motor or gear motor to achieve an actuation, it is common for you to ask yourself: brushed motors or brushless motors? The choice will depend on the type of application that we are to develop, its size, and power requirements. The differences between these electric motors are given by their operation and structure. Learn about the specifics of each of them in this article.
CLR wins the 2016 Innovative SME award at the 1st AVIA Awards
Compañía Levantina de Reductores is recognised for its commitment to innovation with an acknowledgement by the Automotive Cluster of the Valencian Community
Helical gears or spur gears?
Gears are a key component of motor and machinery actuators; they increase the output torque and control the direction of rotation or the speed. CLR –Compañía Levantina de Reductores- has an extensive experience in the manufacturing of plastic and metal gears in many shapes and sizes: spur gears, globoid gears, planetary gears and helical gears; with pinion, bolt, or different types of tooth. Among them, helical and spur gears are usually the most widespread across many industrial applications. Do you want to know their differences and features in-depth? This article can help you.
