Apex Dynamics has launched its new high-performance MG/MGK and MGH/MGHK series planetary gearboxes. Both ranges have been specifically designed for enhanced axial and radial loads, with easy installation and adjustment for rack and pinion applications.
The new gearboxes are ideally suited to CNC machine tools, robotics and heavy-duty automation applications, and have been optimized for rack and pinion applications. Both the high efficiency MG and MGH ranges come with optimized moment of inertia, long service life, best backlash of ≤ 3 arc per min and long-term persistence of low backlash, while the hypoid right-angle K-series offers identical input-output rotating direction.
Potential applications for the new MG and MGH series include: industrial and mobile robots for tasks like assembly, welding and material handling; packaging machinery for the movement of conveyor belts, cutters and sealers; printing presses for precise control and alignment; cranes, hoist and conveyor systems for high precision, reliable movement and positioning of heavy loads; and in-flight simulators, aircraft control surfaces and weapon systems for precise movement and positioning.
The high precision MG and MGK gearboxes come with a ratio of 4 ~ 10,000, high torque and high torsional rigidity and are suitable for high-end applications, as are the MGH/MGHK and MGHC/MGHCK gearboxes. The latter series has extra high torque (typically 25% more than the MG/ MGK range), a ratio of 4 ~ 5,500, and is available in Standard Flange or patented Curvic Output.
With these new ranges, Apex Dynamics once again demonstrates its impressive ability to introduce drop-in replacements for leading competitors’ products, which combined with its market-leading delivery times and guarantees, ensures customers find it simple to transition to high performance precision solutions.
All Apex Dynamics products come with the company’s five-year guarantee, guaranteed 2-3 week lead times, and Atex as standard. In addition to its precision gearboxes, Apex Dynamics also supplies high performance rack and pinion systems that are manufactured to meet Quality 4 standards and deliver high precision and speed, low noise and tolerance, higher force capability and long life. The company’s rack and pinion systems are tooled underground to ensure the best possible temperature control and quality.
Apex Dynamics UK has been widely praised by its customers for the reliability and performance of its products as well as its customer service and engineering knowhow, with comments including recognition of the “good products, at a good price, with good customer support and good delivery” it provides, its gearboxes “meet our high standards for speed, accuracy and precision” and “we really appreciate the support provided by the knowledgeable expert team at Apex Dynamics”.
Apex Dynamics UK Managing Director Mike Gulliford says, “At Apex Dynamics we really believe in the reliability, quality and performance of our innovative patented technology.
