Alphira - A New Addition to the Alpha Family
The inline basic precision alphiraŽ product proves to be another valuable addition to an already innovative range of servo planetary gearheads
Fast, flexible, efficient - three attractive attributes to win customers. alpha has broken new ground with the latest in an impressive line of precision planetary gearheads. alphiraŽ is the name of the youngest offspring in the popular alpha product family. Packaged in a lightweight aluminum case, alphiraŽ is precise, power-dense and maintenance-free. With unique mounting dimensions, this basic precision is well poised to tackle your low-precision applications.
Release:
Ideal as a component of servo and stepper motor applications, alphiraŽ is optimally equipped for the job. In terms of reliability, efficiency and precision, alphiraŽ is every bit as impressive as its older siblings in the rest of the alpha family.
Technical characteristics in brief:
- Low-backlash planetary gearhead
- 4 sizes (40, 60, 80, 115)
- 5 reduction ratios (1-stage 5, 10 / 2-stage 25, 50, 100)
- Aluminum case, unvarnished
- Lightweight (approx. 2.5 3 kg)
- High efficiency > 95%
- Low noise level
- Designed for cyclic and continuous operation
- Very simple motor mounting
- Service life: 20,000 h
- Lifelong lubrication and sealing
The innovators in servo gear technology, alpha continues to provide solutions which are the most advance in the industry, making machines run faster, more efficient and more productive. alpha's product range includes several series of precision gear reducers, servo couplings and various rack and pinion systems to fit any application.
alpha is a member of the WITTENSTEIN group of companies, recognized globally as a leader in motion control components.
