Considered a breakthrough in the world of industrial transmissions, a gearbox offers a service life of greater than 50,000 hours - 30,000 more than the industry average.
Ten models make up the range, each with numerous variants according to size, speed, load and accuracy considerations.
The modular nature of the products allows them to be mixed and matched to build complete multi-axis systems for robotics gantries, pick and place applications and special purpose machinery of all kinds.
At the top of the performance range are linear actuators that can be powered by pneumatic cylinders or non-contact linear motors for the ultimate speed and acceleration performance with almost zero maintenance.
All the units feature high rigidity and mechanical stiffness that delivers excellent repeatability and accuracy.
The bearings, as expected from SKF, are exceptionally accurate and require low maintenance. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
