Shimpo Gearbox VRS Series

Compact and precise, the VRS is the ideal solution for demanding positioning accuracy and speed requirements. This product is a proven performer in higher speed, continuous duty applications where heat reduction is critical. Equipped with two rows of robust tapered roller bearings, the VRS runs smoothly and quietly even with the most challenging dynamic and static forces. The VRS is available with reduced backlash, less than 2 arc-min, to handle dynamic machine tool and robotic applications with ease. With maximum acceleration torques up to 3700Nm, this product is an excellent partner to higher capacity servomotor models. Our customers specify this product when the industry standard is simply not good enough. VRS Series.pdf

Shimpo Gearbox VRSF Series

The intelligent, value engineered selection for lower duty cycle servo and stepper motor applications. The VRSF utilizes a lightweight aluminum frame, making it optimal for traveling axes and end of arm tooling systems. Helical cut gearing allows the VRSF to operate much quieter than the industry standard economy products which rely on spur gearing. The VRSF comes standard with 15 arc-minutes of backlash, but can also be configured to higher accuracy levels. The VRSF is available in four frame sizes, putting out a peak output torque of 274Nm across 9 reduction ratios. The VRSF is the ideal choice for OEMs producing high volume machines where cost is critical, accuracy relatively important and duty cycle not overly extreme. The VRSF’s aluminum body has made it a popular choice in medical, food packaging and other harsh environments. The VRSF can be fitted with a NEMA output flange, for standardized connection to customer equipment.     VRSF Series.pdf

Shimpo Gearbox VRT Series

The VRT series sets the new standard in applications requiring extremely high torque density and rigidity. Its compact design and robotic industry ISO flange is ideal for equipment requiring high speed, high precision indexing movement and streamlined installation. The remarkable torsional stiffness and ultralow backlash combine to provide outstanding positioning accuracy. This product comes standard with <3 arc-min backlash, but is also available with reduced options down to <1 arc-min. The VRT is the most robust planetary solution in the marketplace and is used across a numerous range of applications including 7th axis robot shuttles, dial tables, end of arm tooling and any other axis where installation space, reduced assembly time and torque density play an important role.
