Lenze Adds New g700 Planetary Gearbox Series for Use with Synchronous and Asynchronous Servo Motors

New purebred servo gearboxes are available in five sizes for torques from 177 in-lbs to 7080 in-lbs

UXBRIDGE, MA â€' JUNE 11, 2014 â€' Leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, Lenze Americas has unveiled its g700 series of purebred planetary gearboxes designed for servo applications with demanding requirements relative to overload capacity and dynamics. The new gearbox series extends the companys range of solutions for servo motor applications. The g700 can be used in conjunction with Lenzes synchronous and asynchronous servo motors, as well as a single gearbox with a servo motor. Designed specifically for servo application, the one-, two- and three-stage planetary gearboxes are available in five sizes and cover torques ranging from 177i n-lbs to 7080 in-lbs.


The special handling of the toothing edge, which includes grinding and honing, and the precise, balanced clamping system for the motor, help to minimize the noise generation. As a result, a noise of ≤58 dB(A) is achievable which corresponds to a quiet conversation. The g700 is a gearbox with lowest life-cycle costs. The gearbox is robust and reliable and achieves a service life of 30.000h. It does not need lubricant change or top up and is completely maintenance-free.

"Our growing solutions portfolio is scalable and precisely tailored to the requirements of servo applications," said Robert Gradischnig, electro-mechanical business development manager, Lenze.

"This new g700 planetary gearbox is another step forward in our 'easy engineering philosophy. Whether they need products for relatively simple machine tasks or highly complex ones, our customers can easily find the right solution for their application."

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
