Servo reducer solutions for demanding, high performance applications

In this webinar, you will learn about DieQua's High Performance Servo Worm reducer family, featuring the industry’s only servo worm reducer to feature a dual-compound ground worm and ring gear set that delivers backlash ≤1 arc minute. Additionally, the truly unique system that supports and controls the worm shaft alignment, permitting acceleration speeds up too 6000 rpm.

Superior performance, high shock load capacity and long-life is a function of gear face utilization. The High Performance Servo Worm Reducer consistently uses more than 90% of gear face surfaces, delivering up to 20,000 operating hours. Output options provide engineers with the widest range of machine connection options, single of dual solid shafting, keyed hollow bore, hollow bore with shrink disc, and large hollow bore robot (ISO-9409) flange.
