October 14, 2009 - Wittenstein enhanced the alpha V-Drive servo worm gear, offering variety for applications and bringing the worm gear to a new level. The new generation of the V-Drive gearbox comes in two versions: V-Drive+ & V-Drive economy. The improved range of V-Drive+ boasts optimized hollow-flank teeth for accuracy and low backlash, 50% more torque and 97% efficiencies - the highest for servo worm gears on the market.Two important changes which have occurred for the technical specifications on this product are 1) T2B is now T2max and means the maximum torque which can be transmitted by the gear box and 2) T2N is now T2servo and means the maximum torque which can be transmitted by the gear box with a minimal increase in backlash over the whole lifetime of the gearbox.
V-Drive+
The + stands for more torque (shown in the photo with optional paint)This product replaces the classic version of the V-Drive. With continuously high positioning accuracy and low backlash of <3 arcmin, the V-Drive+ sets new standards. The V-Drive+ is available in these output options: VDH (hollow shaft), VDS (smooth/keyed/involute shaft) and VDT (flange).
Features of the V-Drive+ include:
- Sizes 050, 063, 080, 100
- Ratio 4, 7, 10, 16, 28, 40
- Torsional backlash < 3 arcmin
- Efficiencies of up to 97% V-Drive economyQuality with maximum returns (shown in the photo without paint)A new low cost solution for low duty applications has been added to the family.
- Sizes 050, 063
- Ratio 7, 10, 16, 28, 40
- Torsional backlash < 8 arcmin
Wittenstein quality combined with optimized hollow-flank teeth provides more torque and power density than other worm gear alternatives.
The following output options are available for the V-Drive economy: VDH (hollow shaft), VDS (shaft, smooth/keyed)
