Miniature right angle gearboxes from Ondrives
Ondrives have introduced a range of new miniature gearboxes into their extensive range of gear reducer units.
These mini units are available in two types - RW3 and RW4 are right angle worm gearboxes with an output torque of 1.41Nm and ratios from 5:1 to 20:1 and RW5 are right angle helical gearboxes ranging from 0.7 - 1.41Nm torque range with ratios of between 1:1 to 4:1. Both have breakaway torques of 0.085Nm.
Casings are anodised aluminium, they have oil impregnated bronze bearings, 303 stainless steel output shafts (with single output shafts available on request), input worm shaft on the RW3 is 416 hardened stainless steel and on the RW5, the input gear is hardened stainless steel. Worm and output gears are hardened steel and the maximum backlash figures given on both types is 2º with a maximum input speed of 3000 rpm.
Modifications to these gearboxes are also possible and Ondrives welcome the opportunity to quote for both standard and special requirements.
