Product Spotlight: Gearheads

The newly redesigned SP+ and TP+ Series of gearheads feature torques up to 25% higher, improving the compact unit’s power density. This, in turn, lets users install smaller, and less-expensive gearheads without compromising performance. Maximum radial force ratings are also higher, making the units more robust.

The low-backlash products also run quieter, though they’re fully interchangeable with previous versions of the SP and TP.

Engineers can determine the best gearhead design using the company’s new cymex 3 sizing tool, which features an integrated calculator for energy consumption.
