Wittenstein In All Axes

At Motek, Wittenstein Alpha will be presenting the expanded portfolio of servo worm gears from the V-Drive product family for the first time. The newly developed V-Drive Basic is initially available in two sizes with the basic output types hollow shaft and solid shaft as well as a total of five ratios. The backlash from 10 arcmin to ≤ 15 arcmin is specified for all versions. The special geometry and design of the toothing in the V-Drive Basic is intended to ensure a high speed reserve and high efficiency, and to make the servo worm gears very smooth and quiet: a maximum of 65 dbA at full load and about 50 dbA at medium speeds.

How to develop unique gears

V-Drive Value and V-Drive Advanced with new performance data

Fully compatible with the tried and tested V-Drive Eco and V-Drive +, but with increased torque and reduced torsional backlash, the upgrade versions V-Drive Value and V-Drive Advanced are available. In addition, both V-Drive versions are specified for a lifespan of over 20,000 operating hours - a value that, according to Wittenstein, is around 25% to 50% above the current market standard.

Chipless pinning of racks

No drilling, no chips, no problems due to the accessibility and location of the machine parts: Wittenstein Alpha is demonstrating an easy-to-assemble principle for pinning racks at Motek. This requires the supplied two-piece assembly set, consisting of an assembly pin and sleeve, which is assembled with a hammer and Allen key. According to the manufacturer, the time saved during assembly is serious: with chipless pinning, a secure, form-fitting fixing of a rack should be possible within one minute - instead of 30 to 45 minutes with conventional pinning. Racks should also be quick and easy to replace when servicing is required. (sh)
