Apex Dynamics releases the new Ultra Compact Integrated Geared Pulley Drive AL series. The AL eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and or additional bearings, in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time from the system.

The AL series utilizes a fixed planet design, which allows the output housing of the gearbox to drive the pulley versus a standard shaft driven system. This new technology and design allows the pulley to be centered in between two high capacity bearings which increases stiffness and radial load capacities to over 2 times competitive models.

The True Helical gear design increases tooth-to-tooth contact ratio by over 33% vs. the standard spur gearing geometry. The Helix angle is optimized and produces smooth and quiet operation at extreme speeds. (Less than 2 arc-min, less than 56dB, up to 10,000rpms input).

The product is offered in 7 sizes (70mm thru 280mm) and is equipped with standard single & double stage ratios (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90). Covered by the industry leading 5-year tip to toe warranty and delivery is guaranteed with in two weeks or it’s FREE.
