alpha's SP Low-backlash Planetary gear reducers are applied in increasing numbers in robots, automation applications, machine tools, packaging machines and printing presses for highly dynamic positioning operations as well as for continuous operations as a state-of-the-art component of servo systems.

The principles of design of the SP gear reducers renders them particularly applicable for drive systems with high standards of precision and reliability :

Excellent quality

• a long service life and extremely constant backlash achieved by optimized, ground gearing and high-duty material
• for highly dynamic cycle operations (S5) and high failsafety in continuous operations (S1) alpha gear reducers should be your first choice
• optimized quality assurance: a result of controlling 100% of the manufactured products

Unsurpassed concepts

• high efficiency and low mass moments of inertia of the planetary gear reducers enable highly dynamic drives with minimized energy loss
• as a consequence alpha gear reducers contribute noticeably to saving our resources and to the protection of our environment
• alpha offers forward-looking drive concepts to our customers

Modular planetary gear reducer program

• standardized modules are the basis of all alpha reducer series
• flexible, modular adapter parts enable simple, safe and fast mounting on practically any motor
• since alpha has standardized the geometry of the output parts, we guarantee the compatibility of our entire gear reducer range
