Bonfiglioli is releasing the TQF series of precision planetary flanged gearboxes. High torsional stiffness, tilting moment and compactness are the main characteristics of the TQF series. The compact servo product TQF + BMD is remarkably compact with overall length dimensions which enable space-saving machine designs.
Using an integrated system, rather than a traditional gearhead / motor combination, the TQF+BMD series saves valuable space and gives machine designers a wider range of options and a higher performance due to the synergies between permanent magnets synchronous motor and precision planetary gearboxes technologies. Even more flexibility is available for the TQF + BMD series, including many feedback device options, different windings, and optional brake and flywheel options to fit specific applications. Different levels of customisation are available on request.
The TQF precision planetary flanged gearbox is designed in five sizes (060, 070, 090, 130 & 160) and covers a wide spectrum of ratios with a torque range up to 800Nm. Typical applications for TQF reducers include precision rotary axis drives, travelling gantries & columns, and material-handling axis drives.
Industries served include industrial automation systems, robotics, machine tools, packaging machines, and other applications requiring high-performance servo drive systems. Equipped with high-capacity output shaft bearings, the TQF is designed to satisfy requirements for high radial and axial force applications, ensuring a long lifetime and reliability. With the highest input speed on the market today, the TQF is a good choice when using high-speed servo motors.
While the total elimination of backlash is practically impossible in toothed gear transmissions, due to its design and innovative manufacturing process, it is possible to get the TQF series with a backlash lower than 3 arcmin. Two backlash classes are available for even more flexibility.
With its housing design and optimised monoblock planetary carrier, the TQF series allows a markedly higher torsional stiffness - well suited for applications demanding high dynamics, and a high number of start-stops & reversals. Optimised full complement needle roller bearings allow for higher output torque, increased stiffness, reduced wear and backlash.
The TQF series is designed for continuous duty and cyclic operation. Universal Mounting Position and IP65 protection comply with demanding environments and provide even more flexibility and benefit for specific applications. Smooth running and low vibration of the TQF gearbox enables its successful application into advanced manufacturing processes.
Reliable, accurate and clearly defined catalogue ratings, together with optimisation with the customer's application using the servo-sizing tool avoids over sizing, thus minimising initial system cost as well as optimising the ongoing operating cost of the servo system.
