Novel gears offer high torque

 


Zeitlauf is offering a new gearhead that the company says could spell the end of the worm gear in certain applications. The Etacrown delivers high torque in a small-profile gearmotor, is almost silent and has high efficiency.

Key benefits of the new gearmotors are the compact size, high torque and near-silent running. Furthermore, they can be flush-mounted, making them useful for applications such as door actuation, and they will also find many applications in the medical industry and other applications.
