GAM GPL Zero-Backlash Robotic Gearboxes: The New Standard in High Precision GearboxesGPL Planetary Gearbox

GAM’s GPL Series Robotic Planetary Gearbox combines the lowest backlash and high tilting rigidity with vibration-free motion for smooth, controlled motion in robotics and motion control .

Features

  • Backlash ≤ 0.1 arcmin (6 arcsec), 10x better than other precision gearboxes
  • Best-in-the-market torsional rigidity for ≤ 0.6 arcmin lost motion
  • Patented design guarantees backlash will not increase over the life time of the gearbox
  • Industry-accepted proven performance
  • Seven sizes with nominal output torque of 445 to 3505 Nm and ratios of 50:1 to 200:1
  • Flanged solid shaft output (GPL-F) or flanged hollow shaft output (GPL-H) (up to 75 mm through hole)
  • Integrated Motor Adapter Plate ready to mount your motor
  • Right angle GPR available
  • Replaces direct drive motors at significant cost savings

Gearbox Construction

The GPL Series has three stages:

  1. Helical pinion and gear: high ratios and quiet operation
  2. Planetary spur: fixed ratio
  3. Conical spur: lifetime zero backlash
