Precision gear systems for robotics, mechanical engineering and AGVs

At automatica 2023, Nabtesco will present its broad range of automation products, including user-friendly gear concepts for robotics, mechanical engineering and automated guided vehicles (AGV). One of the highlights is the NecoHT-900 – which Nabtesco says is the world’s largest plug-and-play precision gearbox.

The modular high-torque gears of the NecoHT series from Nabtesco provide customer-friendly plug-and-play gears for high torques. Now the cycloidal gear specialist has expanded the successful concept to include an additional size. The new NecoHT-900 features a rated torque of 9,000 Nm, as well as acceleration and braking moments of 22,500 Nm, which makes it the world’s largest plug-and-play precision gearbox.

Neco®HT-900: Modular precision gears for heavy loads and high forces

Whether for robot peripherals, welding positioners, indexing, positioning or rotating applications: The special design principle of the NecoHT-900 achieves very high reduction ratios with only two to three gear stages, which guarantees precise positioning (hysteresis loss of 0.5 arc.min) in a very compact design. A unique aspect of the new series is the high level of modularity and standardisation in the area of large precision gears. This guarantees faster assembly and maximum flexibility with respect to the motor connection, as well as economical series production and high availability with shorter delivery times.
