Gears
Bevel gear boxes GN 3971 and worm gear reducers GN 3975 can transmit high torque despite their very compact dimensions. They can readily be used for a multitude of applications and require no maintenance.
Gear boxes from Ganter feature the following advantages:
- Maintenance-free
- Long service life
- Very quiet operation
- Encapsulated housing to prevent the entry of dust
- Low backlash on reversal
- More mounting options
Gear Wheels
Gears and racks made from polyamide are preferred in mechanisms that must transmit high torques at low speeds. This includes packaging machines, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as food production. The components are combined to convert rotational movements into linear movements or vice versa. Synchronous, symmetrical, or even proportional movements can be easily achieved when used with clamping jaws, grippers, or assemblies.
Universal Joints
Universal joints transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands.
Universal Joint Shafts
Universal joint shafts transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle, offset and distance to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands. The length compensation is achieved with a splined shaft, which is inserted into a sliding sleeve.
Ball Joint Heads
Ball joint heads transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms and are insensitive to wear, especially under high alternating loads and impact in a radial/axial direction.
Fork Joints, Fork Heads
Fork joints, fork heads and joint pieces transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms. Several varieties with pins secured in different ways as well as a rotatable designs are available.
Angled Ball Joints
Angled ball joints are composed of ball sockets and spherical pivots. They transfer traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms that can rotate and be at an angular offset relative to each other.
Ball Joints
Ball joints allow holders for scanners, lighting or monitors to be positioned precisely and smoothly about the ball pivot point. Thanks to the efficient clamping mechanism, only small amounts of torque result in comparatively strong clamping pressure on the ball.
Quick-Fit Couplings
Quick-fit couplings are used to compensate for a radial offset, such as of a pressure cylinder piston rod relative to the driven component. Depending on the design, even gap-free compensation of an angled offset is possible.
Couplings
Couplings create connections between drive shafts and driven shafts in order to transmit rotary motion and torque. For example, they are used to combine the shafts of motors and transmissions into a single drive unit.
Alongside the primary purpose of transmitting torque, couplings also carry out other important tasks:
- Compensating for shaft offsets and misalignments
- Absorbing runout errors and axial motions
- Damping vibrations and shocks
Couplings are used in a very wide range of applications. The spectrum ranges from simple drives to complex control, regulation and measurement applications.
Trapezoidal Lead Screws, Trapezoidal Lead Nuts
The trapezoidal thread drive consists of a spindle with trapezoidal thread and a nut made of metal or plastic. These robust and reliable mechanisms are the key to precise linear movement in a wide range of machines and devices.
