Versatile force transmitters

Couplings, gears, compact worm gear reducers and bevel gear boxes – Ganter designs long-lasting standard parts for drive technology

It is well known that a motor alone does not make a drive. A few more things are also needed. Couplings, for example, that transmit the forces without losses while also compensating for alignment tolerances.

Ganter has them. As precise as they are versatile: angular gears and worm gear reducers for simple installation and high torques. Ganter even supplies gears – even in polyamide. Universal joints, universal joint shafts, ball joint heads, angular gears and quick-fit couplings round out the portfolio.


Gear boxes

Bevel gear boxes GN 3971 and worm gear reducers GN 3975 can transmit high torque despite their very compact dimensions. They can readily be used for a multitude of applications and require no maintenance.

Gear boxes from Ganter feature the following advantages:

  • Self-lubricated
  • Long service life
  • Very quiet operation
  • Encapsulated housing to prevent the entry of dust
  • Low backlash on reversal
  • More mounting options

Gears

Gears and racks of polyamide are preferred in mechanisms that must transmit high torques at low speeds. Applications include packaging machines, plants in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in food production. The components are combined to convert rotational movements into linear movements or vice versa. Synchronous, symmetrical or even proportional movements can also be easily realized, such as for clamping jaws, grippers or ganged components.

Universal joints

Universal joints transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands.

Universal joint shafts

Universal joint shafts transmit rotation and torque from shafts that can be at a changeable angle, offset and distance to each other. A variety of materials are available as well as designs with friction bearings and with needle bearings for higher demands. The length compensation is achieved with a splined shaft, which is inserted into a sliding sleeve.

Ball joint heads

Joint heads transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms and are insensitive to wear, especially under high alternating loads and impact in a radial/axial direction.

Fork joints, fork heads

Fork joints, fork heads and joint pieces transmit traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms. Several varieties with pins secured in different ways as well as a rotatable designs are available.

Angled ball joints

Angled ball joints are composed of ball sockets and ball shanks. They transfer traction and thrust from linkages and lever arms that can rotate and be at an angular offset relative to each other.

Swivel ball joints

Ball joints allow holders for scanners, lighting or monitors to be positioned precisely and smoothly about the ball pivot point. Thanks to the efficient clamping mechanism, only small amounts of tightening torque result in comparatively strong clamping pressure on the ball.

Quick-fit couplings

Quick-fit couplings are used to compensate for a radial offset, such as of a pressure cylinder piston rod relative to the driven component. Depending on the design, even zero backlash compensation of an angled offset is possible.

Couplings

A coupling creates the connection between the drive shaft and the driven shaft in order to transmit rotary motion and torque. For example, they are used to combine the shafts of motors and transmissions into a single drive unit.

Aside from their primary purpose of transmitting torque, couplings also flexibly perform other important tasks:

  • Compensating for shaft offsets and misalignments
  • Absorbing runout errors and axial motions
  • Damping vibrations and shocks

Couplings are used in a very wide range of applications. The spectrum ranges from simple drives to complex control, regulation and measurement applications.
