With the new NDFC gear series, Neugart expands its product range for delta robot applications, combining cost savings with reliable performance. This series has been designed for applications where maximum precision is not a priority, but reliability, durability and an attractive price-performance ratio are important. Featuring an output stage from the proven precision series, NDFC gearboxes sit below the NDF series while retaining the proven seal concept and a dynamic drive-side mounting system that reduces inertia.
The NDFC series includes three flange sizes (064, 090 and 110) and with two-stage gear ratios ranging from 16 to 100 covers a wide range of applications. Standard torsional clearance is less than five minutes of arc and can be optimized to less than three minutes of arc for body sizes 064 and less than one minute of arc for body sizes 090 and 110. This allows users to precisely select the level of precision required for a given application, while realizing additional cost savings if the standard clearance is sufficient.
NDFC gearboxes are particularly well suited to delta robots (two- and three-axis delta robots). In packaging systems such as palletizing and end-of-line sorting systems in the food and beverage industry, they ensure reliable cycle times and high system availability. Compact delta robots with small workspaces also benefit from a balanced combination of dynamics, stiffness and efficiency, especially in the 064 body size.
We offer a range of options tailored to demanding environments. Food grade lubrication is available that does not negatively impact performance. The painted surface and nickel-plated output flange combined with the stainless steel output shaft provide improved corrosion protection, making the NDFC gearbox ideal for applications in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries.
The NDFC series provides an economical alternative to the high-performance NDF solution. This addition expands the robotics product offering and enables the rapid, reliable and cost-effective implementation of delta robotic systems.
