Precision gear trains for actuators and instruments
Small, accurate ground and spur gears for actuators, test rigs and instruments.
- What was needed
- Ground Gear, Spur Gear
- Requirements
- Accurate, smooth motion
- Low backlash
- Compact size
- Result
- Compact gear trains for precise motion.
Problem
Actuators, test rigs, measuring instruments and robots use compact gear trains where accuracy, low backlash and smooth motion matter more than raw load capacity.
Solution
Ground gears give the accuracy and finish for precise motion; fine-module spur gears keep gear trains compact.
Benefits
Why it works
Accurate motion
Ground teeth for low error and backlash.
Compact
Fine modules for small gear trains.
