Wide Size and Material Variety
Modules can be used singly or in combination to meet most reduction requirements. Units are available in reduction ratios of 3:1, 4:1, 5:1 and 7:1. Modules having the same or different ratios can be combined.
Matex modules are available in plastic, sintered metal, and steel, depending upon application. Torque ranges from 6 in.-lb. to 11,000 in.-lb.
Low Cost
Costs are lower because high precision tooth cutting required by conventional planetary gears is unnecessary.
High Efficiency
The module design ensures that the planets in the Matex gearset always share equal loads, resulting in 98% efficiency at a single reduction and minimal heat loss and noise. For each additional reduction step, efficiency loss is only about 3%. |
