Harmonic Planetary® Size 32 1 Arc-Min Backlash for Life!

Exclusively from HD Systems, the Harmonic Planetary"-" HPG Series is now available in size 32. The key feature of this gearhead is that the backlash is maintained below 1 arc-min for the life of the product. The gearhead has a rated torque of 1176 in-Ib, repeated peak torque of 2655 in-Ib, and maximum torque of 5753 in-Ib. It has a 120mm square frame size with available ratios ranging from 5 to 33:1.

This design is made possible by developing a ring gear that can flex in the radial direction, while maintaining high torsional stiffness. This radial deflection allows teeth of the internal ring gear to be pre-loaded against the teeth of the planet gears. The result is a planetary gearhead that provides consistently low backlash, high efficiency, and high output speeds.

This new planetary gearhead incorporates patented technology and innovative features not found in any other planetary gearhead on the market today. Applications including semiconductor equipment, machine tools, and automation equipment can take advantage of this innovative product.
