Economical and with a strong output bearing: the WPLHE right-angle gear unit

Axially space-saving, economical, IP65-compliant and designed for high radial and axial forces at the output: The WPLHE combines all the advantages of the successful PLHE, the world's first combination of economy and precision gearbox, as an angular variant.

Specifically, the WPLHE features both the gearing of a proven economy gear unit and a high-performance output bearing arrangement with preloaded tapered roller bearings, which are otherwise commonly used in precision gear units (such as PLN and PSN). As a result, the new right-angle gearbox tolerates high radial and axial forces of up to 8,000 N at the output. For example, pulley drives with high radial loads can also be implemented as angular variants.

Since the motor is rotated by 90° compared to the coaxial PLHE, the WPLHE offers the ideal solution in confined spaces, for example in packaging and other special machines. It is the only economy right-angle gearhead to be offered with a pre-mounted pinion as an option. This makes it particularly suitable for space- and cost-sensitive pinion-rack drives. There are 13 different pinions to choose from: both spur and helical, from module 2 to 3, with numbers of teeth from 15 to 27.

The market-established output geometry with square output flange and long centering collar makes the WPLHE easy to implement. Several different output shaft variants - smooth, keyed, splined or with pre-mounted pinion - mean that the right-angle gearbox can be used in a wide range of applications. It is also the only economy right-angle gearbox with IP65 protection, making it suitable for harsh, dusty and dirty environments. Food-grade and low-temperature resistant lubricants are also available for the lifetime lubrication that is standard at Neugart.

The new WPLHE is now available in three sizes 060 / 080 / 120, either as a single-stage version (in the ratio range 3 to 10) or as a two-stage version (9 to 100). Thanks to an efficient supply chain, Neugart can continue to guarantee attractive delivery times from quantity 1.
