Designed with maximum torque density and durability in mind, Pittman G30A planetary gearboxes are engineered to complement the company’s 5 different series of motors allowing a wide range of output torques and speeds. The mounting profile is 30.5mm in diameter, or 38.0mm square when the optional mounting flange is used.  Gearbox lengths vary depending on the gear reduction and range from 33.7 to 51.2mm.  Fourteen standard reduction ratios are available ranging from 4:1 to 1296:1 and allow a maximum output load of 2.47 to 8.83Nm.  Custom gear ratios can also be configured to meet just about any application need. The planetary gearbox incorporates sintered steel planet gears to promote high torque capacity and low audible noise while maintaining a compact design.  Single piece carrier plates with integral gear posts and sun gear can be arranged to achieve many different reduction ratios.  The gearbox output is through a 416 stainless steel shaft and a sintered metal output bearing.  Optional ball bearings are available for high radial loads. The gearbox complements the company’s 8220, 8690, 8540, 9230, and 1300 series brush and brushless DC motors.
