Thomson Micron Expands NemaTRUE Planetary Gearhead Series, Introduces Three New Metric Sizes


Ronkonkoma, NY - Thomson Micron* announces the introduction of three new metric models - frame sizes 60mm, 90mm and 115mm - for its expanding NemaTRUE* Planetary Gearhead Series. The product line, which provides long life in a compact, low inertia package, is currently available in three English Nema sizes - 23, 34 and 42.

In addition, the entire line now offers a choice of two front face mounting options - Nema and Metric, and has been upgraded to be 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. 24 HOUR DELIVERY is available on select ratios.

Other features include:

- 13 arc-minute maximum backlash standard (8 arc-minute option available)
