Servo gearheads are low-backlash planetary gearheads for both cyclic
and continuous operation. They are an essential component of a servo
system, providing mechanical advantage through speed reduction and
torque manipulation to control relatively large loads with relatively
small motors by reducing reflected load inertia on the motor. These
feature a positioning accuracy and have a markedly high torsional
stiffness and service life. They can be perfectly mounted to the motor
in one single step and offer impressive acceleration torque. Advantages of Servo Gearheads
These have compact and space saving design due to right-angle arrangement of the components. They are available in several different configurations and can be delivered with primary shaft, servo flange mounting or servo flange and coupling.
They are specially engineered to provide continuous torque, precise speed control and quiet operation and are ideal for such applications such as conveyor systems, gantries and continuous flow packaging lines. They also have the attraction of being fully field maintainable, eliminating the need for inconvenient shipping returns. They reduce the effect of inertia also.
