ANGULAR RACK AND PINION DRIVES ZV-KS-ME

Angular Servo Gearboxes with Plug-In Pinion

Modular ZV Gears:

• Gear quality class 6 according to DIN 3962.
• Helical gearing, surface-hardened and ground (left-hand 19° 31′ 42″).
• Backlash-free shaft-hub connection, shrink-fitted and keyway-secured.
• The corresponding rack must have a right-hand design (19° 31′ 42″), minimum quality class 8, material C45, induction-hardened.
• Two pinion mounting positions available:
  • (E) Pinion at the end of the output shaft.
  • (S) Pinion close to the gearbox, ensuring higher permissible feed forces.
• Pinion and rack ZV: Lubrication is the customer’s responsibility; high-quality synthetic oil-based greases (NLGI class 0) are recommended.

Modular ZS Racks:

• Precision helical gearing, quality class 6.
• Spiral teeth, hardened and ground.
• Module sizes ranging from 2 to 6.
• Double number of mounting holes every 62.5 mm.
• Maximum feed force from 12.6 to 83.1 kN.
• Two length groups: 500 mm and 1000 mm.

Properties of KS Planetary-Bevel Gearboxes:

• Precision – standard and reduced backlash.
• Fractional gear ratio – eliminates positioning errors.
• Quiet operation – helical gearing.
• Maintenance-free – no oil changes required.
• Pre-lubricated for the entire service life.
• Mounting position – to be specified upon ordering.
• Ambient temperature: 0°C to 40°C (other temperature ranges available on request).
• Filled with synthetic lubricant CLP HC ISO VG 150.
• Maximum allowable gearbox surface temperature ≤ 90°C.
• Protection class: IP65 (optional IP66).
• Bearing options: standard, reinforced axial or radial bearings.
• Output shaft sealing: standard NBR, optional FKM.
• For duty cycles > 60% and higher ambient temperatures, radial shaft sealing rings made of FKM are recommended at the output.
• Gearbox housing made of cast iron.
• Standard paint color: black RAL9005 (other colors available on request).

Optional KS Planetary-Bevel Gearbox Configurations:

• Mineral oil for applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
• Oil expansion tank for vertical mounting position (EL5).
• Direct mounting of STOBER servo motors from the EZ/LM series without adapter or coupling.

Properties of Angular Adapters for KS Planetary-Bevel Gearboxes:

• Quick and easy mounting for any servo motor.
• One-piece, durable clamping coupling with expansion function.
• Lowest mass inertia moments for maximum dynamic performance.
• Balanced design for quiet, vibration-free operation, even at high speeds.
• Wide selection of motor shaft diameters and lengths.
• Precise alignment ensures perfect motor fit.
• Motor can be disassembled in any position.
• Optional double sealing for larger gearbox models.
• Optional direct mounting of EZ or LM servo motors without adapter and coupling.
• To reduce backlash, the motor shaft bearing must be designed without axial play.

EasyAdapt (ME/MEL):

• One-piece, durable clamping coupling with expansion function.

FlexiAdapt (MF):

• Durable, laser-welded bellows coupling with expansion function.
• Integrated thermal length compensation, accommodating the linear expansion of the motor shaft.
• Motor shaft isolated from axial forces.
