maxon motor GP 26 A series planetary gearheads for DC motors

maxon motor’s GP 26 A planetary gearheads for DC motors offer the same modularity, precision and power as previous generations, but with higher permissible loads.

The power increase is the result of the integration of a robust, preloaded ball bearing, optimised gearhead geometry, high permissible motor speed and the optimised dimensions of the output shaft. The gearheads have been released to close the gap between 22 and 32 diameters in the range of power-optimised gearheads. 

Part of the maxon motor modular system, the gearhead is available in one- to three-stage versions, with a total of nine different reduction ratios, from 5.2:1 up to 236:1. The maximum continuous torque of the one-stage version is 0.75 Nm and of the three-stage version is 4.5 Nm. Short-term torques are 1.1 Nm and 6.2 Nm respectively. Thanks to preloaded ball bearings, the tempered, rust-free output shaft has no axial play.

The GP 26 A gearhead can be combined with five different DC motor types within the maxon motor modular system to form powerful drive units, eg, combining with dynamic maxon motors and sensor systems (encoders). For the control functions, various 1- and 4-quadrant controllers, as well as positioning controllers, are available.

The GP 26 A gearhead is suitable for applications such as engineered robotic devices, battery-operated tools, medical technology and industrial automation.
