Catalogue brings families together
New complete catalogue from Alpha and Wittenstein replaces Alpha's previous system of blue binders and single-product loose catalogues.
Focused on less demanding applications, these gear reducers offer outstanding efficiency with low tortional backlash.
The LPB+ offers the option of adding an integrated geared pulley drive system.
The belt pulley eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and/or additional bearings - in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time for the system.
The gear reducers achieve more than 95% efficiency at full load.
The two-stage reducer restricts torsional backlash to less than 10arc-min, and the single-stage version operates at less then 8arc-min.
