| PAG | Square-flange helical gearbox | Mounting dimensions, output connection and load duty |
| PAMG | Right-angle helical gearbox | Motor orientation, mounting space and output connection |
| PLM | Round-body square-flange helical gearbox | Body envelope, flange dimensions and motor interface |
| PVMG | Right-angle helical gearbox | Model-specific dimensions and required installation arrangement |
| PLX | Disc-flange output gearbox | Output flange, locating features and mating bolt pattern |
| PLMX | Right-angle disc-flange output gearbox | Right-angle envelope and output flange connection |
| PAW | Economical helical gearbox | Available model ratings, motion requirements and motor fit |
| TPG | Economical helical gearbox | Available model ratings, motion requirements and motor fit |
Backlash Is One Part of Positioning Performance
A low gearbox backlash value alone does not guarantee the positioning accuracy of the complete machine. Review torsional stiffness, the output connection, installation and servo-system behavior alongside the required positioning and repeatability targets. Use the specified test conditions when comparing model data.
Read why low backlash does not equal high positioning accuracy. If a required stiffness or accuracy value is not published for a configuration, request confirmation before selection.
Check the Load, Output Connection and Motor Interface
- Motion and torque: provide the required output speed, ratio, working torque, acceleration/deceleration and operating cycle. Check continuous and peak requirements against the corresponding model limits.
- Output support: describe the pulley, pinion or coupling, including overhang and external radial or axial loads. Match the shaft or disc-flange connection to the machine drawing.
- Motor fit: verify shaft diameter, usable shaft length, locating pilot and mounting-hole pattern. A motor power rating alone does not confirm compatibility.
For rack-and-pinion drives, PAG and PLX are starting points to compare according to the pinion connection and load calculation. For ball-screw drives, compare suitable PAG models with the machine requirements. These starting points do not replace model-specific checks.
Use the servo planetary gearbox selection guide and motor interface dimensions checklist to prepare the information.
