The size grading has been harmonized to reduce the jump in power ratings between different sizes. This makes a suitable torque and transmission ratio available for almost every application. The gear units also have the highest efficiency in their class. This has been achieved by increasing the torque density (Nm/kg) by an average of 17.2 percent in comparison to the previous series. A compact design enables space-saving, high transmission ratios to be achieved. This not only reduces the weight, but also the stress on the gear unit and application. The unit is part of an Integrated Drive System (IDS), which is available as a complete solution, comprising motor, gear unit and coupling, combined with an oil supply system. The integrated drive system facilitates economic, efficient plant operation, as the components are matched to one another. Thanks to their ruggedness, all sizes of the planetary gear unit can absorb peak loads up to twice their nominal torque. The manufacturer has also extended the warranty and shortened delivery times.
