New RH-N gearbox kits from Nabtesco Motion Control are pre-engineered offering

January 28, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Nabtesco Motion Control now offers pre-engineered RH-N gearbox kits. RH-N kits use the manufacturer’s newest RV-N series of gearboxes … to 20% smaller and 30% lighter than the original RV-E series. RH-N gearbox kits make for turnkey motion solutions that trim lead, engineering, and installation times. The RH-N directly bolts onto servomotors without the need of additional components, as the gearbox kits eliminate the need to manufacture and machine motor plates and housings.

More specifically, RH-N kits include an RV-N-series gearbox; oil seals and O rings; RH-N middle flange and RH-N motor flange; all necessary fasteners; and input pinion. In fact, the input pinion requires no machining … so installers can simply bolt the design together.

Suitable applications for the RH-N include and array of servomotor-driven designs … and in fact, Nabtesco’s value-added gearbox-kit solution works on all RV-N series gear reducers with standard ratios.

RH-N Kits are designed and manufactured in the U.S. with a two-week lead time on all non-stocked items … though one Nabtesco Motion Control objective for 2019 is to increase stock levels to allow for JIT delivery.

Nabtesco Motion Control can design and manufacture various configurations from the RV-N gearbox body. Fully assembled RH-N variations (in the form of fully completed assemblies of the kit and gearbox excluding grease) are available. Oil seals are properly installed and all bolts torqued to the proper specs.

Note: Nabtesco Motion Control RD2-S and RD2-R use legacy RV-E series gearboxes. The newer RV-N series comes in sizes that are far larger (for much higher maximum rated torques). The manufacturer anticipates a migration to the RV-N Series (and the RH-N kits) for two reasons:

  • RV-N series gearboxes are smaller, lighter and more powerful than the traditional RV-E series
  • Pre-engineered solutions help design engineers as detailed above
