Nidec Right Angle Hypoid Servo Gearboxes

Nidec Drive Technology Corporation, a global leader in drive technology, made a strategic move in 2018 by acquiring MS-Graessner GmbH & Co. KG, a renowned player in high-precision gear design and manufacturing based in Dettenhausen, Germany. 

One of the remarkable outcomes of this strategic synergy is the development of Nidec's hypoid servo gearbox product families — DynaGear, DynaGear Eco, and EvoGear. These three distinct series were crafted with over 60 years of combined expertise, addressing the unique demands of various industry sectors and applications.

DynaGear Series: Precision Redefined

The DynaGear series is designed for highly dynamic servo applications, that require exceptional accuracy and efficiency in a compact footprint. DynaGear employs optimized hypoid gears that facilitate high, smooth torque transfer with backlash as low as < 2 arc-min. Tapered roller bearings on the input and output sides absorb high radial and axial loads, ensuring a prolonged service life.

What sets DynaGear apart is its weight-efficient one-piece aluminum housing, providing high stability under load. The series offers versatile output mounting options, including solid shaft, hollow shaft, dual shaft, and robot flange, serving diverse installation options. Its compact design not only saves space but also ensures reliable, maintenance-free operation, thanks to its lubricated-for-life feature.

DynaGear Eco Series: Cost-Optimized Efficiency

DynaGear Eco is a cost-optimized solution for dynamic servo applications that demand low torsional backlash and high efficiency within a compact footprint. The series utilizes optimized hypoid gears for efficient torque transfer, boasting low backlash down to < 6 arc-min. Similar to its counterpart, DynaGear Eco incorporates tapered roller bearings to handle high radial and axial loads, ensuring longevity.

With three frame sizes and a one-piece aluminum housing for weight efficiency and stability, DynaGear Eco offers output mounting options, including solid and hollow shafts, adhering to industry-standard dimensions. The series excels in providing a compact design for small installation envelopes, promoting space savings without compromising reliability. Like DynaGear, DynaGear Eco is also lubricated for life, offering a trustworthy and maintenance-free solution.

EvoGear Series: The Next Frontier in Hypoid Gearing

EvoGear takes hypoid gearing performance to the next level by combining the efficiency and compactness of a hypoid primary stage with the torque density and low backlash of the VRS and VRT planetary products. The series, designed for versatility, comes in four different output configurations and offers 17 reduction ratios to allow for use in a vast array of applications

Tapered roller bearings on the input and output sides ensure EvoGear can handle high radial and axial loads, ensuring a prolonged service life. With ratios up to 15:1 available in a single stage, EvoGear presents a compact design suitable for small installation envelopes. EvoGear is lubricated for life, providing a maintenance-free solution that instills confidence in diverse industrial applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Nidec's right-angle hypoid gearbox series — DynaGear, DynaGear Eco, and EvoGear — are characterized for their precision, efficiency, and reliability. With a rich legacy of design and manufacturing experience, Nidec continues to be at the forefront of drive technology, offering innovative solutions that drive industries forward.
