GPL Zero-Backlash Robotic Gearboxes Available



GAM has released its GPL zero-backlash planetary gearboxes. The gearboxes are designed to provide high precision and rigidity for horizontal and vertical robotic and motion control applications.

"Featuring a patent-pending design, the backlash will not increase over the lifetime of the gearbox, maintaining high precision and eliminating periodic adjustment," said a company spokesperson. The GPL series is available in seven sizes with ratios from 36:1 to 200:1.

"The GPL expands GAM's offering into zero-backlash gearboxes," said Randy Kuper, Regional Sales Manager GAM, "and with less than 6 arcsecs (0.1 arcmin) backlash, the GPL has the highest accuracy on the market."

Output options for the GPL series include a solid flanged output (GPL-F) and a hollow shaft flanged output (GPL-H). The GPL series can be used in a variety of applications, from robotics and automation to medical equipment, where zero-backlash, high tilting and torsional rigidity and long life are required.
