23/08/2011 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
Rotalink, a world-leader in the design and manufacture of miniature power transmission products, offers a range of cost-effective planetary/spur gearboxes. Fabricated from advanced materials, dedicated gear profiles enable these unique compact units to deliver a massive 10 Nm of torque at a highly competitive cost, significantly enhancing market opportunities for original equipment manufacturers.

Miniature planetary and spur gearboxes bring exceptional price and performance levels to OEMsKey to the massive torque available in the planetary output stage is Rotalink's unique gear tooth design, which also minimises noise and backlash. Power transfer to the stainless steel output shaft is maximised by the wide choice of ratios available in the spur input stage - up to 12800:1 – coupled with low friction standard front ball race and nylon or steel ball race rear bearings. The zinc-plated pressed steel case's standard 4-point fixing gives OEMs solid but flexible fixing options.

Rotalink has successfully used its design capability and strategic manufacturing and sourcing to deliver the cost effective product essential to 21st century motion control, automation and system integration. These gearboxes interface with an extensive range of brushed and brushless dc motors, absolute and incremental encoders, motion controllers, stepper and synchronous motors. Typical applications include peristaltic pumps, dispensing equipment, vending machines and similar dosing/metering systems where air and/or liquid valve control is required; analytical instrumentation, semiconductor manufacturing plant and other applications where low cost and maximum performance are required.
