Wittenstein – RPK+ hypoid gearbox

The Wittenstein Premium planetary gearbox RP+, perfect for rack and pinion due to reinforced bearings and a special output interface, are now available in a right-angle version RPK+ with hypoid gearing. The axis offset of hypoid gearboxes allows both higher ratios in one section (ratio i = 3 – 10) as well as higher torques compared to bevel gearboxes.  The high torque density allows for an extremely compact, space-saving design. The mesh frequency and high torsional rigidity of the gearbox are also extremely impressive since they ensure a higher degree of positioning accuracy and extremely smooth operation.
