More advantages
Note: the cantilever axis can only be used in conjunction with a suitable motor kit.
Apiro® linear gearboxes are mainly used for pusher tasks or in format adjustment.
A particular advantage is the simple synchronisation of Apiro® linear gearboxes. Shafts can be flexibly connected to drive several linear drives via the version with built-in coupling. Power is usually transmitted via an Apiro® worm gear with a ratio of 32:1 to achieve self-locking of the system.
The Apiro® linear actuator with integrated planetary gearhead allows direct connection of a NEMA17 motor. The planetary gearbox amplifies the power of the motor. This creates a very compact yet powerful drive unit.
At igus®, Apiro® stands for low-cost gearboxes and flexible customized solutions. The modular gearbox system offers a wide range of products based on the combination of various designs on the input and output of the gearbox, different ratios and a wide range of accessories. In addition to worm gears, bevel gears and cantilever axes are also available in the modular gear system.
A modular design and the simple connection of individual components allow cost-effective solutions for an infinite number of applications. Hence the name: "Apiro" is the Greek word for "infinite".
With Apiro®, special solutions can also be implemented quickly and inexpensively.
