A new generation of planetary gears

The Alpha gear family has brought a new generation of planetary gears on the market The SP+ is 4 times quieter than the already quiet SP, and has permanent lubrication in all positions and a longer life.

The new models have a very low noice level, easier motor mounting and 24 hours delivery service. They are easy to mount and have permanent lubrication in all positions. The life has been prolonged by a new generation of seals and innovative bearings, new materials and optimised dimensions. Protection class is IP 65/IP66. Thanks to the new bearings the torsional rigidity has been improved and the torsional play reduced by 25 %. It has 3 additional ratios, the smallest is 3:1.

All gears pass through rigid quality tests before they are sent to customers. The new SP+ on has been especially tested in the following applications: tooling industry, wood handling, printing and packing industry, material handling and automation industry.

Like its predecessor, SP+ High Speed provides superior performance for high duty cycles. It can be run continuously, yet has a long service life. It gets no more than lukewarm even under the highest stress, and it incurs no maintenance or service costs. And it offers our patented integrated thermal linear expansion compensation.
