Maxon recently announced the release of the 22 mm and 32 mm right angle gearheads. These compact, lightweight and high torque gearheads were developed to provide an adjustable 360 degree right angle output for the most demanding applications. The Spiroid technology incorporated in the gearhead design offers a number of performance benefits:

Extremely high torque transmission

High stiffness/Low deflection with large applied loads

Back-drivable (4:1 ratio) & Non-back drivable (31:1 ratio) versions

Absolute output shaft position achievable with encoder mounting option

Compact size

Output shaft can be orientated 360 degrees at any time

Low backlash

Up to 3:1 contact ratio

Quiet operation

The 22 mm and 32 mm right angle gearheads are available in either a 4:1 or 31:1 ratio, which may be mounted directly onto many of maxon's brushed/brushless motors or stacked on different ratios of maxon's GP22 and GP32 planetary gearheads. This results in a wide range of achievable gear reductions. The motor and gearhead combinations are suited for a variety of applications particularly where an output shaft perpendicular to the motor axis is desired.
