‘Gearheads’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Wittenstein gearhead suits space-restricted apps from
Wittenstein (formerly alpha gear drives), which we summarised at the time by saying "Wittenstein has developed the V-Drive+ Servo Worm Gearhead that meets requirements for resource-efficient servo applications and is predestined for applications where space is restricted. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Sterling offers right-angle EG planetary gearheads from
Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument: "Sterling Instrument, an ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B-registered manufacturer, has introduced a series of right-angle EG planetary gearheads.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Midwest Motion Products
- take a look at DC gear motor accepts any 24VDC source
which says: "Midwest Motion Products has announced the release of the model MMP-TM55-24V GP57-317 DC gear motor.".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division, Parker actuators have standard gearhead options,
as well as CD-ROM features catalogues and demos from Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument,
and Parker gearhead offers optional output faces from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division.
