    Features & benefits

    • Planetary-gear-reducer portion mounts to nearly all small to medium-duty servomotors; sizable for 12:1 through 324:1 ratios

    • Large cross-roller bearings allow for thrust loads (to 800 lb) and torsional stiffness

    • Useful in indexing tables, dispensing assemblies, robot end-effectors, and automated assembly equipment
