16mm diameter spindle drive with integrated axial bearing delivers 0.2 to 0.6Nm
Contrary to the spindles of the company’s larger GP 22 S and GP 32 S devices, the spindles of the GP 16 S are rolled. This results in a lower price. A central component is the axial bearing, which must withstand the high tractive and compressive forces of the spindle. The spindle drive program in the sizes 22 mm and 32 mm has now been extended to include the smaller GP 16 S version with a diameter of 16 mm. For the planetary gearhead, 14 different reduction ratios are available, from 4.4 up to 850:1. Depending on the reduction ratio and the type of spindle, this makes it possible to achieve feed forces between 35 and 370 N and even up to 400 N for short durations. DC or brushless EC motors can be used to drive the system; in total, nine different motor types are available. These motors can also be equipped with compatible sensors (encoders), which are essential for precise positioning.
