Innovative Mechanical Design Enhances Automation Solutions
Automated systems often rely on programmable servo motors coupled with planetary gearing for motion control and power transmission functions. These components are familiar, widely available, and suitable for many applications. However, they aren’t always the best choice, and often the need for gearbox alternatives or custom solutions may go unrecognized.
