"PKX" Series Features

The "PKX" Series units are a combination of the "P" Series Precision Planetary Gearhead and a low ratio right angle which uses the FlexiAdapt® motor coupling. HeliCamber® gear technology provides minimum wear, low backlash, and low noise. "PKX" Series units are lubricated for life with synthetic oil and sealed to IP65 standards to prevent lubricant contamination for long life. They provide all the great features of the "P" Series unit plus the compact design of a right angle. Some of the features are:

• High torsionsal stiffness

• 93 to 95% Efficiency

• Assembled in the U.S.A.

• Quiet Running- Noise level as low as 69 dB(A)

• Lowest standard backlash

• Highest running smoothness acheived by proven helical gearing and gear tooth microgeometry. Gear quality provided by case-hardened and finish-ground sun and planet gears

• Highly efficient spiral bevel gearsets provide quiet operation and excellent torque carrying capacity

• Ring gear machined integral to the housing — not welded or pressed in — provides greater concentricty and eliminates speed fluctuation

• Each planet gear is straddle mounted by two bearings for low noise and minimum backlash. They are pressed onto shafts without keys to minimize misalignment

• Single piece ductile iron housing (GGG70-101,000 psi tensile strength) for maximum heat dissipation, noise dampening and allows greater lubrication retention on the ring gear

• Magnetic oil filteration

• Lubricated for life with synthetic oil and sealed to IP65 standards to prevent lubricant contamination for long life. Mounting position must be specified

• FKM seals

• Planet carrier straddle mounted for robust output capacity

• FlexiAdapt® motor shaft adapter system allows installation of motor in minutes — no special tools required

• Adapter bushings to fit all motor shafts – no key required

• Motor plate pilot toleranced to fit your motor for precise concentricity

• Bearing options for application specific radial load, axial load, and tilting moments
