April 27, 2016 - High precision gearing specialist Harmonic Drive UK, has launched the CobaltLine Series, a series of high torque gear component sets and gear units designed to fulfill the growing need in robotics and broadcast sectors for lightweight, compact gears that can deliver a high power output. CobaltLine also features an extended temperature range and higher peak torques compared to the standard HFUC series.
The CobaltLine Series Gears are available in six sizes, with gear ratios of 50, 80, 100, 120 and 160:1, offering repeatable peak torques from 23 to 841Nm and a power density of up to 545 Nm/kg.
Robots used in applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing and industrial automation, as well as military and defence demand very high repeatability levels. With a zero backlash design, CobaltLine achieves repeatability to within ±6 arc seconds.
The CobaltLine Series Gear Units also feature corrosion resistance on the output bearing for environments with high humidity levels and the range can operate in ambient temperatures between -40 and 90 degrees Celsius by careful selection of specialised lubricants optimised for harsh environments.
