EXSYS Tool Inc. has expanded its line of EPPINGER high-precision industrial gearboxes to include planetary-type gearboxes. The planetary range provides excellent energy efficiency, minimal heat generation and extremely smooth motion for a wide variety of applications and industries.
Standard planetary gearboxes are available in PE (planetary eco) and PP (planetary precision) styles for applications that require low backlash, high efficiency, shock resistance and a high-torque-to-weight ratio. With a modular design that combines ground gears and precision gear components, these gearboxes ensure performance efficiency and maximum uptime. They also use less energy and easily mount to a variety of motors through a flexible flange system.
The present range of planetary gearboxes comprises five sizes, with each size offered as a single, dual or triple stage design. Each gearbox variant is also available as a precision design with reduced backlash. The wide assortment of sizes and designs allows users to achieve overall transmission ratios from i = 3:1 to i = 512:1 in a variety of applications.
Servo planetary gearboxes in PT-style are also available for easy installation of all common servomotors with all sizes of the gearboxes. PT-style gearboxes feature a unique design by which all ring gears, planet gears and sun pinions are case hardened and ground to guarantees high stiffness, reliable transmission and allow precise positioning tasks.
Related Glossary Terms
- backlash
backlash
Reaction in dynamic motion systems where potential energy that was created while the object was in motion is released when the object stops. Release of this potential energy or inertia causes the device to quickly snap backward relative to the last direction of motion. Backlash can cause a system’s final resting position to be different from what was intended and from where the control system intended to stop the device.
- modular design ( modular construction)
modular design ( modular construction)
Manufacturing of a product in subassemblies that permits fast and simple replacement of defective assemblies and tailoring of the product for different purposes. See interchangeable parts.
- stiffness
stiffness
1. Ability of a material or part to resist elastic deflection. 2. The rate of stress with respect to strain; the greater the stress required to produce a given strain, the stiffer the material is said to be. See dynamic stiffness; static stiffness.
