alpha's Technology Shift Revolutionizes the Right-Angle Gearhead
Elk Grove Village, IL - alpha's new HG+ right-angle gearhead allows machine designers to solve longstanding inefficiencies associated with right-angle applications. The result of alpha's research and technology shift into single-stage gearing technology, the HG+ achieves an efficiency above 96% with guaranteed backlash of <4 arcminutes, ratios of i = 3-10, and an acceleration torque of 20-640 Nm -- all in a compact, right-angle gearhead solution.
Additional advantages of the evolutionary single-stage gearhead design include low inertia, high speeds, low noise, low heat, and lower system costs. The technology shift to one-stage gearing compares favorably with servo worm gears and with larger, more complicated, two and three stage gearheads with bevel stages. HG+ is an optimal solution for compact servomotor applications such as packaging and converting machinery, handling and gantry robots, and flat bed type machinery. The HG+
is available in five sizes. It mounts to all servomotors in five minutes, using a universal mounting system.
