Maxon Precision Motors introduces right angle gearheads designed to be configured with maxon's 22 mm and 32 mm dc motors. These compact, lightweight and high torque gearheads were developed to transmit power at 90 deg in the smallest possible form factor. The Spiroid® technology incorporated in the gearhead design offers a number of performance benefits:
- Extremely high torque transmission
- High stiffness / Low deflection with large applied loads
- Back-drivable (4:1 ratio) & Non-back drivable (31:1 ratio) versions
- Compact size
- Low backlash
- Up to 3:1 "gear teeth" contact ratio
- Quiet operation
- High Torque to Space Ratio (HTSR) technology
The 22 mm and 32 mm right angle gearheads are available in either a 4:1 or 31:1 ratio, which may be mounted directly onto many of maxon's brushed/brushless motors OR configured with different ratios of maxon's GP22 and GP32 planetary gearheads. This results in a wide range of achievable gear reductions. The motor and gearhead combinations suit applications particularly where an output shaft perpendicular to the motor axis is desired.
