Applications
Woodworking machines
Planetary gearboxes, including the economy straight line where ultra-low backlash is not the main requirement.
Where the parts sit
- ① Planetary gearbox at the axis drive — Reduces motor speed and multiplies torque for the axis; ratio and backlash are checked on the selection page.
- ② Gear rack along the long-travel bed — Converts pinion rotation into long linear travel; module, length and straight vs. helical must be stated in the inquiry.
- ③ Rotary table at the indexing station — Positions and holds the workpiece directly on the table; hollow centre carries wiring and piping. IP40 — do not assume suitability for a wet or food line.
Product lines used
Planetary gearboxes, including the economy straight line where ultra-low backlash is not the main requirement.
Key parameters
- Planetary ratios 3–100, IP65, life 20,000 h.
- Straight economy lines SPF / ZPF (040–142) and SPL / ZPL (040–160) for price-sensitive axes.
- Right-angle output SPW (075–210) where the layout needs it.
Environment limits
- Wood dust: gearbox IP65 is a gearbox rating; rotary-table dust suitability (IP40) is to be confirmed in writing before specifying a rotary table on a dusty line.
- Backlash grade for the exact frame still decides precision axes — check the dimension sheet.
What to state in the inquiry
- Backlash requirement, dust environment, motor brand and model, flange and shaft.
