Read MoreThe Dunkermotoren PLG 42K Series Planetary Gearbox is a compact, high-efficiency gear solution designed for precision applications that demand reliable torque transmission in a small form factor. With reduction ratios from 4:1 up to 512:1 and continuous torque capabilities reaching 3 Nm, this gearbox is ideal for robotics, medical devices, and light industrial automation.
Key features include high operating efficiency, up to 90% in single-stage configurations and straight-toothed gear stages for smooth and consistent performance. The PLG 42K features a double ball bearing-supported output shaft for increased durability and load handling, with axial loads up to 150 N and radial loads up to 230 N. The plastic ring gear construction allows for reduced weight without sacrificing performance, making it well-suited to compact installations.
Available in 1-, 2-, or 3-stage versions, the PLG 42K Series is designed for maintenance-free operation with lifetime lubrication. Its IP50 protection rating and robust vibration resistance further support long-term use in controlled environments.
For compact, precise, and efficient drive solutions, the Dunkermotoren PLG 42K Series Planetary Gearbox delivers exceptional value in motion control and automation systems.
