helical-toothed sprocket wheel / preloaded / high-performance

Dedicated to racks & pinions drive applications, the KRP+ design is based either on the use of one single unit or on the association of two top quality planetary reducers, mounted in parallel on the machine main frame. When used as a SingleDRIVE, the KRP+ gives the benefit of an ultra high stiffness feed gearbox, dedicated to high performances rack & pinions drive systems. When choosing the mechanical preload solution, the KRP+ become a DualDRIVE unit, which achieve the true backlash free feature by torsionally winding one pinion against the other through the rack. Immediate benefits are to need only one motor, and to dramatically simplify the motor control. When choosing the Electrical preload solution, the KRP+ is used as a TwinDRIVE unit, where the backlash is cancelled by the opposite torque balance between the two pinions, according with the two motors and drives remote control.
