Little Space, Little Problem

The V-Drive high-precision right-angle servo gearhead is a low-backlash unit suitable for applications where space is at a premium. The gearhead has an optimized tooth profile that promotes longer life due to less friction, resulting in reduced wear. This tooth design also promises greater torque capabilities and higher precision. The unit boasts efficiencies as high as 95 percent and a backlash rating of less than 3 arc minutes.
