Thomson MICRON: ValueTRUE™ Planetary Gearheads (VT018 Series)

Thomson Micron® planetary gearheads are used on high precision motion control applications which require a high torque to volume ratio, high torsional stiffness, and low backlash. All of our gearheads are self-lubricating and have high radial load capacity for any given size. The ability to match inertias with our large variety of ratios, provide to keep our customers stable and controlled servo systems.

ValueTRUE™ Planetary Gearheads

Description

ValueTRUE is the low cost, helical crowned True Planetary® gearhead. The internal gear is cut directly into the stainless steel output housing casting to increase torque capacity without increasing the cost. The helical cut of the gears provides higher torque capacity, precision and stiffness when compared to straight cut gears. This technology allows Thomson Micron® to offer a high performance helical planetary gearhead at an economical price.

ValueTRUE™ Highlights

· Low Cost– 30% less than typical market pricing

· Helical Crowned True Planetary Gearing improved load capacity, lower backlash and smoother & quieter operation compared to non-helical gearheads

· RediMount Compliant – mounts to any motor in 3 easy steps: align, mount and tighten.

· Drop-In, low cost replacement for most common helical gearheads

· Stainless Steel Output Housing provides rock solid durability, suitable for environmentally sensitive applications.
