Economy planetary gearheads: ZF cuts OEM costs in servomotor systems with new PGE economy range of high efficiency planetary gearheads

摘要

ZF's new range of PGE (Economy) planetary gearheads provides OEMs with the ideal vehicle to reduce costs in servomotor applications. The Economy range offers high levels of accuracy, efficiency and reliability in a compact and easy to fit package that improves the competitiveness and torque performance of any machine equipped with AC or DC servomotor systems. The new PGE gearheads are an effective answer to the constant demands to reduce costs in OEM machine building, without comprising quality and performance. They offer all the traditional advantages of a planetary gearbox design: low weight, small size and low noise, plus a combination of high efficiency (up to 97%) and dynamic operation. In addition, their low backlash design (as little as 10 arc minutes) and high degrees of torsional rigidity - the latter the result of even load distribution between three planetary gears - ensure both excellent positioning accuracy and reliability.
