Industrial gearboxes are gear units designed for continuous use, which also prove their worth under extreme operating conditions and in special applications. Gear units are the link between the motor and the application. Their task is to convert torque and speed, adjust mass inertia and increase positioning accuracy. Industrial gearboxes are usually characterized by their performance, robustness and long service life.
Our gear units are used in factory automation. Robustness, controlled energy consumption, long service life, precision, ease of maintenance as well as operational reliability and reliability are therefore a matter of course in order to meet industrial requirements. Festo gear units are also perfectly matched to the corresponding motors.
EMGA is a range of gears tailored to Festo stepper and servo motors. You can choose between spur-toothed planetary gear units or bevel gears. The planetary gear unit with gear ratios i = 3; 5; 8; 12; 20 can be combined with our servo motors EMME-AS and EMMT-AS and with the stepper motors of the EMMS-ST series. As a bevel gear unit, EMGA – with the same gear ratio – is the ideal supplement for the servo motors EMME-AS and EMMT-AS. Thanks to lifetime grease lubrication, our gear units avoid downtime and production losses. With degree of protection IP54, they have complete protection against accidental contact and are protected against splash water on all sides.
Bevel gear units are all gear units with input and output shafts at an angle to one another, resulting in a 90° deflection. In special cases, different angles are also possible. The axes have a common point of intersection. The term is also used alternatively for helical-bevel gear units. The most important feature of a bevel gear unit is the corner transmission, which gives the user the opportunity to change the rotation system of the machine. In this way you can switch from a transverse rotation system to a longitudinal one. Gear units with bevel gears are compact and robust and can transmit high power.
Our industrial gearboxes EMGC are matched to the integrated drive EMCA as spur-geared bevel or planetary gear units. The planetary gear unit is available in one or two stages. Possible gear ratios: i = 3; 4; 5; 7; 12; 16; 20; 25; 35; 40. In the bevel gear unit, the gear ratio is i = 1. This range of gears also scores with lifetime lubrication and degree of protection IP54 – for reliable and safe operation.
Planetary gear units, also known as planetary gear units or epicyclic gears, are industrial gearboxes, more precisely friction wheel or gear drives. The name planetary gear unit has the following origin: The rotating planet gears (orbital gear) revolve around the central sun gear (sun pinion) like the planets orbit the sun in the astronomical sense. Planetary gear units are extremely efficient gear unit models. They allow a very high transmission ratio. If your application requires high precision, we recommend that you choose planetary gear units.
