A new range of ultra-compact planetary and bevel helical gearboxes for industrial applications.

Posiplan models are our newest models who innovation is protected by a patent. Posiplans feature a combination of planetary and helical/bevel helical gears, thus taking advantage of the strengths of each technology: compact size, reliability and easy maintenance.

This new series of lighter, more compact gear reducers surpass traditional solutions for planetary and bevel helical gear reducers and also ensure shorter production times and lower production costs.

The design of these ultra-compact gear units is based upon precise analyses using FEM (Finite Elements Method) techniques in combination with 3D models. The performance was then confirmed and optimized with field trials. The result is better performance, longer duration and quiet operation.

Advanced engineering techniques, years of experience and the use of high quality parts led to the creation of a product that ensures high performance over time.

Main characteristics of the new product range :

• 10 harmonically developed sizes, from 26,500 to 238,800 in-lb of nominal torque.
• In the planetary helical version, current has up to 4 reduction stages and for reduction ratios of up to i = 2,000:1.
• In the bevel planetary helical version, currently has up to 4 reduction stages and transmission ratios of up to i = 1,100.
• Special seals (labyrinth seals or double seals with separate grease-filled chamber) that protect against lubricant leakage and contamination.
• Output hollow shafts: cylindrical with keyway, cylindrical hollow shaft for shrink disc, and splined shaft.
• Input motor adaptors for NEMA, IEC and hydraulic motors.
• Available with flexible and fluid couplings, clutches and torque limiters, and belt couplings.
  Accessories such as torque arms, shrink discs, backstops and brakes, oil filtering and cooling systems, are also available.
• The range is being expanded to include 8 more sizes for output torques of up to 590,500 in-lb.
