HPN Series Right Angle Servo Gearheads

HPN series right angle servo gearheads offer a wide range of reduction ratios in a space saving geometry. Available in five frame sizes, these low backlash devices employ a spiral bevel gear pass to turn the corner, resulting in a smooth, low noise transmission. The output pass is a planetary design with helical planets supported by a full complement of needle rollers. The Quick Connect® motor adaptation ensures ease of mounting with a highly reliable connection. » Learn more

Servo Grade AMR Propulsion Drive Trains

The drive wheels on Autonomous Mobile Robot platforms benefit from the inherent characteristics of harmonic planetary technology; primarily, smoothness of travel, backdrivability, and an efficiency curve that does not degrade over time. The integral cross roller bearing construction contributes to an excellent balance of torque density, stiffness, and radial load support in a compact and reliable package. Available in dozens of standard reduction ratios, these low backlash drive trains include motor adaptation as required. » Learn more
