Gear torque range extended from 0.2Nm to 8800Nm
With the nominal torque range now extended from 0.2Nm to 8800Nm in twenty housing sizes (22mm to 350mm) Centa Servogears meet the demands of highly dynamic, high accuracy positioning applications
A strengthened output bearing assembly and shaft cater for the high radial loads experienced in this demanding application, whilst honed planetary gears ensure maximum efficiency and minimum noise levels.
Suitable for operating in a 100 knot wind and an ambient temperature of -40C to +95C, the unit is designed for a minimum working lifetime of 50,000 hours.
The component parts are suitably protected against the rigorous marine environments.
Plug and socket electrical connections simplify installation into the main drive assembly.
