Wittenstein alpha SC+, SPC+ and TPC+ right-angle gearboxes

Wittenstein has announced its alpha SC+, SPC+ and TPC+ right-angle gearbox range.

The SC+ uses a high-speed bevel design with reduced output friction to achieve speed increases of up to 30% for enhanced throughput. Using the 2:1 ratio offers designers increased output speed while maintaining inertia reduction.

Using new materials, innovative gearing designs and improved lubrication, the SC+, SPC+, and TPC+ operate cooler, leading to longer lifetime and increased speed.

The range offers an improved synchronous running accuracy, delivering the highest results in printing and imaging systems. Enhanced drivetrain accuracy delivers the best resolution for vision scanning and 3D imaging systems.

The SC+, SPC+, and TPC+ gearbox family is based on a newly designed right-angle spiral bevel gearset. The family is intended to be a modular set to provide different ratios and output configurations. The SC+ contains the spiral gearset in a single stage design with output shaft configuration, and is available in 1:1 and 2:1 ratios, while the SPC+ contains the spiral bevel gearset, but is also equipped with an SP+ shaft-style planetary output stage, providing ratios to 20:1.

The TPC+ contains the spiral bevel gearset, but is also equipped with a TP+ flange-style planetary output stage, providing ratios to 20:1.
