Features and Benefits

Due to the load sharing attributes of multiple tooth contacts, planetary gearboxes provide the highest torque and stiffness for any given envelope. Balanced planetary kinematics at high speeds combined with the associated load sharing make planetary-type gearheads ideal for servo applications.

Other significant advantages include:

• True helical technology provides increased tooth to tooth contact ratio by 33% vs. spur gearing
• 12° helix angle produces smooth and quiet operation
• One piece planet carrier and output shaft design reduces backlash
• Single step machining process
• Assures 100% concentricity
• Increases tortional rigidity
• Efficient lubrication for life

Sample Applications

Many applications typically associated with conventional power transmission solutions are beginning to utilize servo control and precision gearheads to meet production requirements. Servo-driven solutions can achieve faster speeds with more precise accuracy while providing greater flexibility and quicker changeover.
