Faulhaber’s new 14GPT and 16GPT metal planetary gearheads offer high torque in small size, ideal for laboratory automation or inspection robots.
Miniature drive systems, servo components, and drive electronics provider Faulhaber recently introduced two new metal planetary gearheads for its GPT series - the 14GPT and 16GPT.
Faulhaber said the compact additions to the series deliver high torque with minimal volume, making them ideal for demanding applications where space is limited. They are robust, capable of withstanding frequent and sudden load changes, and operate with high efficiency. The gearheads can be combined with a wide range of motors.
The new sizes leverage design principles of the GPT gearheads, which can reliably transmit extreme forces Faulhaber said this not only results in higher torque, but also enables a particularly short overall length - ideal for applications where space is critical.
Additionally, the optimized design allows for a higher speed of up to 24,000 rpm, enabling efficient use of the motor's full speed range. The increased number of gear ratios contributes to an optimized thermal behavior and extends the operating range of the gearhead. Thanks to increased radial and axial load capacity, even heavier loads can be handled.
To meet the highest standards of reliability and durability, the new GPT gearheads are made entirely of hardened stainless steel. The welded connections between components ensure a robust and long-lasting construction without the use of adhesives. Faulhaber said this stable design can help ensure reliable power transmission, even under extreme loads.
Thanks to their robust construction and high performance, Faulhaber said its new 14GPT and 16GPT gearheads are perfectly suited for applications in robotics, laboratory automation, or medical diagnostics. Whether in inspection robots, electro-optical devices, or laser devices - the company said its new planetary gearheads can deliver maximum performance in minimal space at an excellent price-performance ratio.
