Planetary gearheads promise longer life

A Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 18, 2008

Gearheads provide performance enhancements that include higher radial load capacities and increased service life resulting from the incorporation of more robust bearing support.

Available now from Parker Electromechanical Automation, Stealth Gen II helical planetary gearheads provide performance enhancements that include higher radial load capacities (4x greater in some cases) and increased service life (nearly double) resulting from the incorporation of more robust bearing support, dual angular contact bearings to support the output carrier, full complement needle bearings to support the planet gears and optimised gearing geometries.

Internal design changes allow for one fill level for any orientation, resulting in shortened part number designation and simplified order placement.

The redesign incorporates a simplified motor mounting kit design, which will enhance Parker's ability to build to stock allowing for quicker deliveries (potentially same day).

Parker's distribution channel will have a similar advantage, as gearheads of specific frame sise and ratio could be stocked, then on receipt of customer orders, a separate mounting kit could be pulled from their stock or delivered immediately from Parker Bayside.

The new MU "universal" mounting kits are designed to be used across multiple product lines; therefore, axes that demand high precision - Stealth Gen II (PS, RS), mid-range precision Stealth Gen II (PX, RX) and lower precision (PV) - use the same mounting kit part numbers within the same frame size.
