• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery

• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• 20:1 precision reduction – Smooth, controlled motion for servo axes that need stable speed and higher output torque.

• Low backlash design – Typically within a few arcminutes for this size/ratio, helping keep positioning repeatable over time.

• Compact 060 frame – Saves cabinet and machine space; ideal where envelope is tight but performance can’t be compromised.

• MF2 motor interface – Simplifies mounting to common servo motor brands with the right adaptor hardware.

• Solid output shaft (1C1) – Easy to couple with keys, pinions, or rigid/bellows couplings for high torsional stiffness.

• Lifetime lubrication – Sealed, maintenance-light operation reduces service interruptions in most cases.

• High torsional rigidity – Better dynamic response and less compliance when the axis reverses under load.

• Quiet running – Typically low noise levels compared with general-purpose gearheads, helpful near operators.

This model fits best where compact, precise motion is needed with moderate output torque. I typically see it in:

• Pick-and-place gantries and small delta robots

• Packaging and labeling axes (feed rollers, rotary knives, sealers)

• Electronics and medical automation—indexing dials and linear stages

• Light-duty CNC/laser axes and positioning tables

• Rack-and-pinion drives on compact machines (with matching pinion)

• Reliability that reduces downtime – Lifetime lubrication and robust bearings help the gearbox run for years with minimal attention.

• Compatibility – MF2 adaptor approach makes it straightforward to mate with common servo brands without custom machining.

• Performance-to-size ratio – High torsional stiffness in a small footprint keeps the axis responsive, which often means faster cycle times.

• Total cost – Consistent backlash and rigidity reduce the need for frequent retuning or replacement; in many cases, that’s where the savings show up.

• Technical support – We can help verify motor fit, coupling choice, and expected backlash at your load point before you order.

• Mounting – Align the motor shaft carefully; tighten adaptor and clamping screws to the torque specified by the motor kit. Avoid forcing the shaft into the hub.

• Machine interface – Rigidly bolt the gearbox to a flat, stiff surface. Keep overhung and axial loads within the catalog limits for size 060.

• Environment – Install in a clean, dry area with reasonable ventilation. Typical ambient 0–40 °C for standard grease.

• Wiring – Not applicable; ensure motor feedback and power cables are strain-relieved so they don’t load the gearbox.

• Routine checks – Periodically check coupling/pinion set screws and mounting bolts. Inspect seals for leaks or contamination.

• Calibration – If your axis uses a home/mark position, re-check backlash compensation after the first few production weeks.

• Lubrication – Factory lubricated for life under normal duty; no re-greasing is typically required.

Tip from the field: when coupling to a rack-and-pinion, preload the pinion correctly and recheck after thermal soak—the small adjustments often tighten your repeatability by a noticeable margin.

• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management

• RoHS-compliant materials per supplier declaration (gearboxes are typically exempt from CE marking as standalone mechanical parts)

• Factory acceptance testing for backlash and runout on each production lot

• Warranty: 365 days from delivery

• Servo motor adaptor kits (MF2 variants for different motor brands and shaft sizes)

• Precision pinions for rack drives (module matched to your rack; keyed or clamped versions)

• Rigid or bellows couplings for inline shaft connections

• Shaft keys and keyway-compatible hubs

• Output shaft seals and replacement hardware kits
