Parker Hannifin Corporation, Electromechanical Div: Gen II Helical Planetary Gearheads Enhance Performance

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division, a leading supplier of
   motion control technology, announces the release of the Gen II Helical
   Planetary Gearheads.


   The Stealth Gen II Gearheads provide performance enhancements that
   include higher radial load capacities (four times greater in some cases)
   and increased service life (nearly double) resulting from the
   incorporation of more robust bearing support, dual angular contact
   bearings to support the output carrier, full complement needle bearings
   to support the planet gears and optimized gearing geometries. Internal
   design changes allow for one fill level for any orientation, resulting
   in shortened part number designation and simplified order placement.

   The redesign incorporates a simplified motor mounting kit design, which
   will enhance Parker’s ability to build to stock allowing for quicker
   deliveries (potentially same day).  Parker’s distribution channel will
   have a similar advantage, since gearheads of specific frame size and
   ratio could be stocked, then upon receipt of customer orders, a separate
   mounting kit could be pulled from their stock or delivered immediately
   from Parker Bayside. The new “universal” mounting kits (designated “MU”)
   are designed to be used across multiple product lines; therefore, axes
   that demand high precision -- Stealth Gen II (PS, RS), mid-range
   precision Stealth Gen II (PX, RX) and lower precision (PV) -- utilize
   the same mounting kit part numbers within the same frame size.
