GAM announces the release of the new GSL series of strain wave gearboxes. The new gearboxes provide zero-backlash and high torque in a small gearbox for robotic and motion control applications.
The GSL gearbox uses harmonic gearing for a very compact design that easily integrates into applications requiring high ratios and high precision in a small form factor. The GSL series is available in frame sizes 14 to 40 and reduction ratios 50:1 to 160:1.
¡°GAM has always been known for our breadth of products,¡± said Craig Van den Avont, president at GAM, ¡°and with the introduction of the GSL strain wave gearbox, we bring that breadth of product to our zero-backlash gearbox offering including our GCL series cycloidal gearbox and our revolutionary GPL zero-backlash planetary gearbox.¡±
Options for the GSL series include the ¡°hat¡± and ¡°cup¡± type with keyed bore, hollow, or shaft inputs. The GSL is also offered in basic component form for fully integrating into applications. The GSL series can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as robot joints, autonomous remote vehicles, antenna positions, or any other applications requiring zero-backlash and high torque in a small gearbox.
