Working Operational Principle

High-speed low-torque rotational output from matched AKM21 servo motor input shaft drives central sun gear inside reducer housing. Three evenly spaced planetary gears mesh with sun gear and internal ring gear, transferring torque to planet carrier assembly at reduced rotational speed and multiplied output torque. Precision ground gear tooth surfaces maintain ultra-low backlash transmission, transmitting smooth high-torque rotary motion to machine load via output keyed shaft. Factory-sealed synthetic lubricant continuously lubricates all meshing gear surfaces during full operating lifespan.

Core Product Advantages

  1. Direct bolt-on mating interface with AKM21 micro servo motor eliminates separate coupling assembly hardware cost
  2. ≤3 arc-min precision backlash delivers micron-level repeatable positioning accuracy for inspection and optical equipment
  3. Single-stage planetary structure achieves 94% mechanical efficiency, reducing motor power loss and heat generation
  4. Pre-filled lifetime synthetic lubricant removes periodic oil change maintenance procedures
  5. Compact inline coaxial layout shortens overall mechanical axis length for confined installation spaces
  6. IP64 full housing sealing prevents dust and light cutting fluid intrusion inside gear meshing chamber

Applicable Industrial Segments

Optical inspection stages, laboratory precision test equipment, micro electronic pick-and-place axes, small desktop CNC engraving machines, miniature packaging screw drive mechanisms, semiconductor micro-transfer modules.

Mandatory Installation Standards

  1. Motor-reducer mating flange contact surface flatness ≤0.02mm; mounting screws torque tightened evenly to 1.2 N·m
  2. Strict coaxial alignment guaranteed by integrated clamping hub; radial offset error is mechanically limited to 0mm
  3. Operating ambient temperature range: -20°C ~ +40°C; storage temperature -30°C ~ +75°C
  4. Continuous vibration limit ≤0.3g; vibration isolation required if mounted adjacent to stamping equipment
  5. Output shaft coupling minimum bending radius of connecting flexible elements ≥8 times component outer diameter
  6. Prohibit applying radial/axial impact force directly to reducer output shaft during mechanical assembly

Operation & Maintenance Mandatory Rules

  1. L10 service life of 20,000 rated operating hours without lubricant replacement under nominal torque
  2. Quarterly visual inspection of output shaft oil seal for lubricant leakage; replace fluorosilicone seal once leakage occurs
  3. Do not operate above maximum input speed of 8000 RPM to avoid premature gear tooth abrasion
  4. Restrict continuous output torque to nominal 32 N·m; 3× peak overload only allowed within 10s single cycle
  5. Annual cleaning of outer housing surface to remove accumulated metal dust and coolant residue
  6. Disconnect servo drive power before disassembling motor-reducer integrated assembly to avoid accidental shaft rotation
