Hypoïd High-End right-angle gearboxes!
Also in the high-end segment Apex Dynamics continues to invest. That’s why we are launching a completely new Hypoid gearbox, the K series. Besides the right-angle planetary and bevel gearboxes this is the 3rd form of right-angle gearboxes we can provide. Previously we have already published an article about our bevel gears.
How does our Hypoid gearbox work
When to use a Hypoid gearbox?
These are generally used for high-precision reductions in dynamic applications, for instance with a hollow-shaft design. With Hypoid gears the teeth are rolling over each other so that the output efficiency is high. For a single stage a 3: 1 up to 10: 1 reduction can be achieved. Due to the possible high dynamic input, an integrated motor shaft length compensation is integrated.
The new K-series is available in five versions:
KH | : | through hollow shaft with flange ISO9409 |
KF-S1 | : | single output smooth shaft |
KF-S2 | : | single output shaft with key |
KF-S3 | : | single output spline shaft according to ISO 5480 |
KF-S4 | : | double output hollow shaft with shrink disc |
The advantage of the spline output shaft is much torque can be transferred to a
Each type of gearbox is available in seven sizes, with ratio of 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10. A backlash of <3 arc minutes is default. Because of the over-dimensioned bearings the axial and radial forces can be very high.
Typical applications for this type of gear applications are: automotive, robotics, and (silent) drives for attractions in amusement parks and chairlifts.
So with this new hypoid gearbox range, also in terms of product innovations: Apex Dynamics run faster!
