Small, Cost Effective Planetary Gearmotors are Ideally Suited for Step Motor Applications
Applied Motion Products New PH Series Mini Planetary Gearmotors are used with small step motors in NEMA 8, 11, and 14 frame sizes. The small design of the gearheads allows them to be paired with small motors and doesn't adversely affect the outside dimensions of the combined gearmotor.
These gearmotors are used in applications where space is critical. Small motors usually don't produce enough torque for demanding applications. Mini Planetary Gearmotors are an ideal solution. They offer an increase in torque, and better inertia matching without breaking the budget.
PH Mini Planetary Gearmotors are offered in three frame sizes: 22, 28 and 35 mm. Each component of the gearbox is machined to exacting tolerances before being assembled into the final reducer. The result is a gearhead that can accept input speeds up to 6,000 rpm and provide high output torques with minimal backlash.
Features include:
- •True planetary design
- •Precision cut gears
- •All metal construction for long life
- •High torque and precise positioning
- •Miniature design for use with small motors
- •Excellent for increasing torque and inertia matching in a small size
- •Ideal for use with small step motors
- •Standard ratios from 4:1 to 36:1
- •Attractive pricing for cost-sensitive applications

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.
