Typically, reducers with output flanges are limited in the forces they can transmit by the tilting moment that the output bearings can handle. By adding an output bearing housing, this limitation is removed. Also, the unique design of the pinion allows for smaller pitch diameters, which decreases the torque on the reducer. Because of these design enhancements, a smaller reducer can typically be used. These drives are perfect for a wide range of applications, including axis drives requiring precise positioning & repeatability, traveling gantries & columns, pick & place robots, CNC routers and material handling systems. Heavy loads and duty cycles can be easily handled with this drives.

Application Sheet
The output housing minimizes any deflection of the pinion away from the rack, increasing the linear stiffness of the system by 300%, as well as increasing the power density of the system. The housing can also mount a felt gear applicator to provide continuous grease lubrication of the pinion.
The planetary
reducers are available in ratios from 4:1 to 100:1 and backlash levels
down to one arc-minute. The reducers can also be offered in
right-angle versions to fit into most designs.
The system accuracy, including the pitch error and backlash, can be found below:
* The rack and pinion backlash depends on the alignment of the rack to the linear guides. There are three levels of precision for the hardened & ground racks, with rack pitch error ranging from 0.012 mm to 0.048 mm per meter length depending on which rack is used. Follow this link for more information on our Precision Racks.
The maximum drive force that each system can handle (with safety factor 1.0) is listed below; this should be compared to the application peak force, which can be calculated here, or by filling out our Application Sheet. Please click on the table values for PDF specifications:
* Force ratings do not include any safety factors. Higher forces are possible depending on gearbox ratio selected.
