Apex Dynamics has launched its powerful, high performance GV/GVR-Series of planetary gearboxes with rigidity for high radial load. Designed specifically to meet the needs of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) applications, the GV/GVR Series is a new generation of planetary gearboxes, featuring minimised gearbox length for high reduction ratio and optimised space arrangement inside mobile automation machines.
Its compact footprint and range of mounting options provide a solution to space problems and the new gearboxes can be tailored to suit design needs. The robust new series of planetary gearboxes provide a long service life and come with Apex Dynamics’ market-leading five-year warranty and fast, guaranteed delivery times.
Growing popularity and complexity of AGVs demands tailored gears
With the growing popularity of AGVs and the increasing complexity of mobile automation, Apex Dynamics has created a tailored gearbox series designed to meet the industry’s need for high torque and high driving transmission.
The tough GV/GVR-Series’ high precision taper roller bearings equip the gearboxes with high loading capacity, meeting the needs of dynamic mobile machinery. High torsional rigidity and wheel hub supporting high vertical load capacity ensure the gearboxes are capable of handling maximum vertical loads of up to 1,450 Kg and output torque ranges from 54 Nm – 418 Nm.
Delivering optimised moment of inertia, the high efficiency planetary gearbox series from Apex Dynamics has low backlash, ring-gear housing rotation and 100% optimised helical bevel gearing hardened to 840 HV for high efficiency and precision.
Available now to order, with Apex Dynamics’ exceptional guaranteed delivery times, the GV/GVR range is easy to install. The GV Inline comes with keyed hollow shaft input connection, while the right-angled GVR has servo motor flange plain shaft input connection. Mike Gulliford, Apex Dynamics UK, says, “The GV/GVR Series of planetary gearboxes are optimised for use in AGV applications, making them the ideal choice to withstand the complex and high vertical load demands of autonomous vehicles. We are delighted to expand the range of products we offer to industry even further with a gearbox that meets the specific needs of the growing AGV market with the high precision and performance synonymous with Apex Dynamics products.”
