The industrial gear units XP series are extremely space-saving planetary gear units for very high torque ratings up to 5 200 kNm. They enable specific drive solutions for applications in the high-performance area. An additional advantage: They are able to very flexibly customize the amount of stages and the individual gear ratios to your application.
Depending on the application, it is important for users and outfitters of systems to position gear units and motors separately from each other. We have designed our XP series as a stand-alone gear unit with a free input shaft for such purposes.
Do you need a primary gear unit? No problem. Select a gearmotor from our comprehensive modular concept. We will attach it directly to the planetary gear unit for you. Or you can combine the XP gear unit with an industrial gear unit from the X series.
You need even more power? No problem. We offer you project-specific industrial gear units from the XP series whose performance surpasses the stated torque range of 5 200 kNm.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
