RPK+

Hypoid gearbox

TheRPK+ hypoid gearbox is optimized for rack and pinion applications. The pinions, which are specially matched to the gearbox, enable the transmission of maximum feed forces.

48 – 5500

Ratio

1100 – 10450 Nm

Max. torque

≤ 1.3 arcmin

Backlash

Machine connection

Integrated slotted holes allow easy adjustment of pinion and rack and increase system rigidity by eliminating the need for adjustment plates

Absorption of maximum forces

Reinforced bearing to absorb maximum forces – with a compact design

Compactness

The axially short, right-angled design enables even more compact machine concepts

Further Information

The R-flange is standard for the RPK+. The slotted holes integrated into the gearbox flange allow easy adjustment of the gearbox with the pinion mounted on the rack.

The RPK+ for perfectly matched rack and pinion systems for high to very high demands. Typical areas of application are laser machines, wood, plastic, and composite material processing centers, cutting machine tools, e.g., HSC milling machines, as well as highly dynamic and precise handling applications.

The system output can be used to implement a wide variety of gearbox and pinion configurations. The inputs can be optimized for rigidity, feed force, or feed speed, depending on requirements.

The high torsional rigidity of the RP+ gearboxes, combined with the tilting rigidity, C2K,lin, and engagement spring stiffness, Cγ, together with a highly rigid design, have a positive effect on the natural frequency and thus on the control behavior of the machine.

With cynapse® and smart services, you can unleash the full potential of your drive system: sensor data is processed, visualized, and analyzed intelligently. Find out how the combination of gearboxes with cynapse® and our smart services can make your digital production faster, safer, and more efficient.
