As a result of automations in logistics or production environments, Apex Dynamics receives more and more questions about gearboxes for AGV applications. That is, gearboxes for Automated Guided Vehicles, or mobile robots, which are often used to transport materials in factories or warehouses. The GL series has been specially developed for AGV applications. That's why Erik Megens talks more about it in this video.
The GL series is designed to handle high radial loads. This is caused because torque is transmitted through the output flange and force through the rotating housing. The force engages between the bearings so it is loaded only on force and not on tilting torque. In addition, the GL series beveling for high synchronization, it is very low backlash, quiet and shock resistant. As a result of its compact design, the GL series has a mounting depth of 30 mm and has been developed with starting torque compensation: if the motor rotates counterclockwise, the output flange rotates clockwise. The result is less vibration in the system during dynamic operation.
