Planetary gearbox series expanded

The new series – comprising the MGO/MGOK and MGOH/MGOHK/MGOHC/MGOHCK models – features easy installation and adjustment for rack and pinion applications.

Combining extra high torque with high efficiency and optimised inertia moment, the MGO range from Apex Dynamics is ideal for a wide array of potential applications that require precision and reliability for high axial and radial loads. These include industrial and mobile robots for tasks like assembly, welding and material handling; packaging machinery for controlling the movement of conveyor belts, cutters and sealers; printing presses for precise control and alignment; cranes, hoist and conveyor systems for high precision, reliable movement and positioning of heavy loads; and in-flight simulators and aircraft control surfaces.

The robust MGO gearboxes provide high torsional rigidity and long-term persistence of low backlash to ensure high performance and precision throughout their long service life. With ratios from 4-10,000, the MGO series comes in a range of different sizes with a max input speed of up to 7000 rpm. Additionally, the MGOH range has extra high torque (typically 25% more than the standard MGO gearboxes) for higher loads.

With these new ranges, Apex Dynamics once again demonstrates its impressive ability to introduce drop-in replacements for leading competitors’ products, ensuring customers find it simple to transition to high performance precision solutions. Easy to install and adjust because of enlarged holes on the flange, the hypoid right-angle K-series provides identical input-output rotating direction, and customers can select from Standard Flange or patented Curvic Output options. Adjustable curvic coupling provides high torque transmission, automatic concentricity and zero backlash through all-teeth-coupling between pinion and gearbox.

Apex Dynamics also supplies high performance rack and pinion systems for the MGO series that are manufactured to meet Quality 4 standards and deliver high precision and speed, low noise and tolerance, higher force capability and long life.  The company’s rack and pinion systems are manufactured underground to ensure the best possible temperature control and quality.

As with other Apex Dynamics products, the MGO series gearboxes come with ATEX as standard, as well as the company’s market-leading guaranteed 2-3 week lead times and five-year warranty. Apex Dynamics UK has been widely praised by its customers for its customer service and engineering knowhow, as well as the reliability and performance of its products. Comments include recognition of “good products, at a good price, with good customer support and excellent delivery” it provides, and how its gearboxes “meet our high standards for speed, accuracy and precision.”

Apex Dynamics UK managing director Mike Gulliford says: “At Apex Dynamics, the reliability, quality and performance of our innovative patented technology is combined with our talented and experienced team and our market-leading guarantees to provide a unique full-service package that is unsurpassed in the industry.

“Our expanded MGO series of gearboxes provides the precision, performance and power required for high axial and radial loads. With multiple variations within the MGO range and complementary rack and pinion systems, customers are bound to find the ideal solution for their application.”
