In-Line Precision Planetary Servo Gearboxes Available from Heason
Date: 20 November 2008

Modular range is interchangeable with other major servo-gearbox brands
ZF Industrial's Servoplan® PG
precision grade planetary gearboxes are available in the UK from
Heason Technology Limited. Aimed at demanding servomotor drive
applications, with ratios between 3:1 and 100:1 and output torques
from 25 to 3000 Nm, the low backlash German manufactured range is
fully interchangeable with other major brand servo gearboxes. The
modular design allows a wide choice of mounting and output shaft
configurations as well as assembly to almost all brushed and
brushless servomotors - including Heason's own AKM series from
Danaher.
The PG range is available in six single-stage sizes for a reduction
ratio to 10:1 and five dual-stage designs for up 100:1 ratio. The
high efficiency design uses taper roller bearings and an optimised
gear tooth form for highest torque combined with low noise and low
heat dissipation. The impressive backlash specification can be less
than 2 arc minutes under optimal conditions. A typical service life
of 20,000 + hours is quoted with minimal maintenance thanks to the
PG's IP65 sealed and lubricated-for-life housing.
For less demanding applications and where price/performance needs
to be optimised for OEM applications, Heason can also supply the
ZF-PGE range which has a similar sealed housing construction but
utilises a precision ball-bearing system providing up to 670 Nm
torque capacity with ratios to 100:1. The PGE range can suit servo
and fractional horsepower motors.
