cymex® 5: Downsizing Your Servo System with alpha Premium
Adding a low-backlash planetary gearbox to a servo system generates more torque than a servo motor alone. This allows for better inertia matching, greater system stiffness, and reduces the overall size of the system's envelope. WITTENSTEIN alpha Premium Line low-backlash gearboxes allow you to downsize further with less than 1 arc min backlash and greater torque values in a more compact frame. In today's webinar, our Engineering Team will show you:
- Performance characteristics of the alpha Premium Line
- How to size a gearbox suitable for a high-performance system
- How the alpha Premium Line delivers greater system flexibility
