Planetary gearheads
Boston Gear, Quincy, Mass.

The company is using its full-color, 36-page brochure to introduce new high-precision helical planetary gearheads, which are designed for direct attachment to servo and stepper motors. Planetary gearheads combine the load-sharing attributes of multiple-tooth contacts with balanced operation at high speeds. That makes them useful for servo-driven solutions to packaging, medical, material handling, robotics, automotive, and other high-production application challenges. Enhanced features include a patented planet carrier design, patented input and output sealing designs, and special heat and surface treatments for durable performance. The brochure provides specifications, selection information, motor mounting instructions, and torque-tightening recommendations.
