Servo gearheads provide mechanical advantage by multiplying electric motor torque while reducing the driven load’s reflected inertia back to the motor.
We supplies the widest selection of gear technology providing optimal solutions far beyond the capabilities of additional gearhead suppliers.
Do you know why we still use today gearboxes while servo motors becoming more powerful and more advanced? The gearboxes are found in many cases in combination with a servo engine, for example because they possess low backlash and are able to handle high torque. But still we didn’t give an answer to the previous query: why! In this post we discuss the procedure of a servo drive and translate this to the gearboxes.
Technically translated tis means to follow or execute a command. A servo motor follows the (complex) task given to him.
For commercial applications, servo motors are used in which a drive-system has 
to be accurate or highly powerful. The opinions to the motor is performed through a resolver (analogue sensor of rotation) or encoder (digital sensor of rotation). A servo engine is managed by a servo amplifier, probably with a shaft controller.
The rotation frequency of the actuator is given back by the resolver or encoder. That is capable as well as the rotational swiftness, also to determine the position of the rotor and the direction of rotation. The servo amplifier compares the established rotational frequency with the measured rotational frequency. At this point the servo amplifier can drive the actuator to the required values.
Interesting, AC Servo Motors have no significant disadvantages more! So, why would you servo gearhead utilize a gearbox?
This has the next reasons:
If you want a suprisingly low quickness, possibly in mixture with a higher torque.
If you want high torque. (Actuators with high torque are available, but they are exponentially more expensive when compared to smaller servomotors)
Inertia matching, in order to prevent that the load determines the behaviour of the electric motor.
In order to absorb the high radial or axial forces of the application.
If you would like to go “nearby” otherwise the servomotor shines the application. Gearboxes can be found in right-angled versions.
Baldor’s GBSM-series of low backlash, servo motor rated gearheads, attach easily and directly onto AC brushless servo motors to supply industrial motion control gear with torque multiplication and proper inertial matching. These gearheads are created for servo applications requiring precision, durability, and lengthy trouble-free operation.
