Servo Gearboxes

Maximum precision and dynamics, combined with exceptional torque density, are the key requirements specified for reliable servo gearboxes. Wittenstein Alpha offers servo gearboxes for any application and any performance range. These low-backlash planetary and right-angle gearboxes reflect innovation and the highest levels of precision.

Servo gearboxes are used in mechanical and mechatronic drives whenever high torque density is specified in combination with low torsional backlash. Wittenstein Alpha develops complete, single-supplier solutions for driving any axis across diverse industries and applications with a wide range of technical and commercial requirements. Whatever the performance requirements, the gearbox portfolio includes suitable solutions in terms of torque, speed, torsional backlash, torsional rigidity and ratio.

Cynapse Smart Servo Gearboxes

Mechatronic drive systems that can collect and communicate information independently are fundamental to the Industrial Internet of Things. Wittenstein Alpha is now the first manufacturer of components to offer smart gearboxes as standard – gearboxes with Cynapse. The integrated sensor module enables Industry 4.0 connectivity. Gearboxes with Cynapse are identical to the existing models in terms of design, size and contour. Drive solutions that have already been designed need no further modification. The sensor module integrated in the smart gearbox makes the difference.

Cynapse provides a simple way to connect a gearbox using the connectivity of an IO-Link interface to integrate a sensor module into existing installation space, enabling access to measured variables such as temperature, vibration, operating hours and acceleration, as well as product-specific information. Existing drive solutions need no further modification. Products and preferred services can thus be customized elegantly using the smart gearbox. Gearboxes with Cynapse provide universal connectivity to their own machine infrastructures and to all standard IIOT platforms.

Smart gearboxes measure temperatures and report overheating, detect vibration and count operating hours. They store and document all events linked to their use. Data generated by Cynapse can be used in condition monitoring or predictive/preventative maintenance applications. This minimizes the risk of gearbox damage and prevents machine downtime. Cynapse makes a decisive contribution towards optimal machine availability and productivity.
