Patented planetary gearbox technology

02 September 2021

PLANETARY GEARBOXES from Apex Dynamics have a number of patented features to help enable higher performance; for example, single piece construction with bearing mounted sun gear.

The main internal carrier is machined on a single piece of steel and all surfaces have the same datum, thereby guaranteeing full concentricity and alignment from input shaft to output shaft. This design also reduces indifferent thermal expansion when compared to normal two-piece construction, as well as reduced heat build-up due to reduced input bearing speed.

There are further patented design features around the input and output sealing designs, and lubrication flow to the needle bearings – all of which contribute to low friction performance for improved life.

With 100,000 gearboxes manufactured for stock and ready for final configuration, Apex Dynamics can deliver in two to three weeks on all of its standard range of planetary and spiral bevel gearboxes and rack and pinion solutions.                   

Negating component supply issues caused by the global pandemic and Brexit, Apex Dynamics offers 'guaranteed delivery', whereby if an order is not delivered on time the customer will receive the product free-of-charge.

Apex Dynamics has a full range of planetary and other servo gearboxes with drop-in replacements for most competitor’s models and the widest range of gearbox ratios from any major supplier. This makes it easy for customers to substitute models they may be currently using without design changes. 

A five year warranty is offered across the complete range of servo gearboxes and rack and pinion products.
