Delta Line adds three-stage option to GP42-S and GP56-T planetary gearboxes

May 3, 2023 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Delta Line now offers an additional option to their popular GP42-S and GP56-T planetary gearboxes.  Both of these gearboxes are now available with a 3-Stage option.

Planetary gearboxes have the advantage of being compact with high efficiency, low backlash and provide a high torque-to-weight ratio, especially when compared to other types of gearboxes. The Delta Line portfolio of high-performance planetary gearboxes are robust; they are designed to sustain intermittent or sudden load changes and are ideally suited for precise positioning applications.  The addition of the 3-stage option to the GP42-S and GP56-T gearboxes provides versatility that allows engineers to take control of design tradeoffs.  Delta Line has become widely known for their product flexibility which extends throughout their motor, controller/drive, gearbox and actuator catalog.

The GP42-S gearbox is 42mm in diameter and the high-load GP56-T gearbox has a diameter of 56mm.  The length of the gearbox is 70.6 mm and 86 mm, respectively.  Within the 3 Stage option, each frame size has two reduction ratios to select from:

  GP42-S (NEW 3 Stage) GP56-T (NEW 3 Stage)
Ø Size (mm) 42 56
Length (mm) 70.6 86
Reduction Ratio 96:1 or 241:1 101:1 or 256:1
Nominal Output Torque (Nm) 12.2 or 15 34 or 35

 

The Delta Line planetary gearboxes are ideal for that application that requires accuracy, efficiency, endurance and low backlash.  Both the GP42-S and GP56-T are now available with 1, 2 and 3 stages:

  GP42-S (1, 2 & 3 Stages) GP56-T (1,2 & 3 Stage)
Ø Size (mm) 42 56
Length (mm) 70.6 86
Reduction Ratio 4:1 to 241:1 3:1 to 256:1
Nominal Output Torque (Nm) 6.5 to 15 28 to 35
Recommended Input Speed (rpm) 3,000 3,500

The mission of Delta Line is to provide the industry’s most agile, flexible and personal service in motion systems.  Delta Line provides a wide range of application support, including but not limited to: firmware, software and mechanical compatibility.  Customers seek out Delta Line’s competency for both new applications and existing applications where the availability or cost of legacy systems has become prohibitive.  The wide range of products in the Delta Line catalog include motors, controllers, integrated motors, linear actuators, gearboxes, encoders and more.

Delta Line is a global motion solution manufacturer with product options ranging from individual motor, actuator and gearbox offerings to fully customized motion systems. For more information, visit www.delta-line.com.
