Press Release Summary:
UltraTRUE(TM) planetary gearheads in 90 and 115 mm sizes are RediMount(TM) compliant and available in both in-line and right angle models. Gearheads have standard 4-arc-min backlash and crowned helical carburized steel gears that are hardened to HRC 60 minimum and flank-finished after heat treating. Gearheads are suitable for material handling, packaging, coil winding, pipe bending, machine tools, overhead gantry systems, and injection molding machines.

Thomson Micron Expands UltraTRUE Planetary Gearhead Series, Introduces Two New Sizes
Ronkonkoma, NY - Thomson Micron, LLC has added two new sizes - 90 mm and 115 mm - to its UltraTRUE* line of True Planetary* Gearheads. Available in both in-line and right angle models, these ultra precise, ultra smooth gearheads are ideal for applications such as material handling, packaging, coil winding, pipe bending, machine tools, overhead gantry systems, and injection molding machines.
The UltraTRUE planetary gearheads from Thomson Micron have two important features: a standard 4-arc-minute backlash and crowned helical carburized steel gears that are hardened to HRC 60 minimum and flank-finished after heat treating. High strength and exceptional torsional rigidity are the result of machining both the output housing and the helical internal gear from a single piece of high strength steel. Helical crowned planet gears make for the smoothest, whisper-quiet operation available in a planetary gearhead.
The UltraTRUE 90 and 115 gearheads offer ratios from 1:1 to 100:1.
Peak torque for the 90 mm in-line is 204 Nm (1800 in-lb); for the 90 mm right angle, it is 192 Nm (1700 in-lb); for the 115 mm in-line, it is 599 Nm (5300 in-lb); for the 115 mm right angle, it is 565 Nm (5000 in-lb).
Peak radial load for the 90 mm in-line and right angle is 1500 lb; for the 115 mm in-line and right angle, it is 2500 lb.
The UltraTRUE* gearhead line is RediMount* compliant, which permits mounting to any motor. The front face options provide easy drop-in replacement for competitive gearheads, parallel-shaft spur gearheads and other similar reducers. The gearbox mounts in less than five minutes using the company's self-aligning RediMount* motor mounting system - the most versatile mounting system in the world. Factory-supplied lifetime lubrication virtually eliminates maintenance and costly downtime.
