Precision planetary flanged gearboxes

Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Bonfiglioli has released the TQF series of precision planetary flanged gearboxes.
Using a compact integrated solution, the series saves valuable space and gives machine designers a wider range of options and a higher performance. They are designed in five sizes (060, 070, 090, 130 and 160) and cover a wide spectrum of ratios with a torque range up to 800 Nm. Typical applications for TQF reducers include precision rotary axis drives, travelling gantries and columns, and material handling axis drives. The main industries served include industrial automation systems, robotics, machine tools and packaging machines.
Equipped with high capacity output shaft bearings and with the highest input speed on the market today, the TQF is the best choice when using the latest high speed servo motors. It is possible to get the TQF series with a backlash lower than 3 arcmin. Two backlash classes are available for even more flexibility.
With its unique housing design and optimised monoblock planetary carrier, the TQF series has a markedly higher torsional stiffness – ideal for applications demanding high dynamics and a large number of start-stops and reversals. Optimised full complement needle roller bearings allow for higher output torque, increased stiffness, reduced wear and backlash.
The TQF series is designed for continuous duty and cyclic operation. Universal Mounting position and IP65 protection comply with highly demanding environments and provide even more flexibility and benefit for specific applications. Smooth running and low vibration of the TQF gearbox are confirmation of the successful application into advanced manufacturing processes.
