Worm wheel gearboxes guaranteed for five years
Parvalux Electric Motors is further expanding its range of high-performance gearboxes with the launch of the LS series, a compact range of worm wheel gearboxes rated up to 35Nm continuous output torque. Similar to the recently launched G gearbox range, the smaller LS gearboxes feature the same advanced design and technological developments that have established new standards for performance and reliability across the range.
As a measure of the company's confidence in the durability, reliability and performance of its LS gearboxes, Parvalux issues a five year warranty with each unit - which the company believes to be unique in the industry.
The LS range features a direct drive between the gearbox and motor, which, unlike many similar products, does not employ any rubber or moulded components that could wear or degrade with time and use. As a result, the gearboxes offer exceptional performance and durability.
Other features for the worm wheel gearboxes include:
- The rugged gearbox is based on 100mm square, cast aluminium design that features industry standard three-, four- or five-point mountings
- The sealed-for-life construction uses a high-performance lubricant and the gearboxes are suitable for running in any position
- Available ratios include 12.5, 25, 30, 50, 75 and 100:1
- Gears are designed for minimum noise and there is a choice of Delrin, which gives a maximum torque of up to 20Nm, or high-torque bronze gears for more demanding applications up to 35Nm
- Output speeds range from 25-600rpm and, in common with all Parvalux gearboxes, there is a huge range of options that enables the gearbox to be customised to meet the exact requirements of individual applications
- Options can include for example, solid or hollow output shafts up to 25mm in diameter and mechanical brakes
- LS gearboxes can be supplied as individual units or in production quantities
The new LS range is produced in the UK and can be integrated with Parvalux's compact and efficient range of high-performance AC induction, permanent magnet DC or DC brushless motors. DC brushless motors can also be supplied with an integrated speed controller to provide a complete motor-gearbox-control package.
