Planetary gearboxes are often promoted as a universal solution; however, for several applications, the ATLANTA precision worm gear configuration offers unparalleled competitive advantages, which translate directly into numerous operational benefits.
Normally, worm gearboxes are not considered highly efficient when compared to planetary gearboxes. In the specific case of ATLANTA, the choice of materials and the quality of the machining allow for stable efficiencies over time that are comparable to those of planetary gearboxes, especially at high speeds and under full load.
Claims regarding “low cycle life” or “poor efficiency” of the worm gear are outdated information or only applicable to low-quality products.
Thanks to their operating principle, ATLANTA servo worm gearboxes handle high loads and torques in a significantly smaller casing compared to a planetary gearbox of equal capacity.
High gear ratio in a single stage
While maintaining remarkable mechanical simplicity, ATLANTA servo worm gearboxes can achieve high ratios (up to 52:1) with just a single stage, minimizing the number of moving components and thereby reducing cumulative backlash.
Low-noise operation and durability
In ATLANTA servo worm gearboxes, the meshing between the worm and the ring gear is smooth, reducing noise and the impact of vibrations, which are essential aspects for applications in sensitive environments or for increasing the service life of the system.
Reversible, not self-locking
Hi speed ATLANTA servo gearboxes, characterized by high efficiency, DO NOT exhibit the self-locking effect and are therefore reversible; this feature ensures continuous precise and dynamic regulation of the system, distinguishing them from normal worm gearboxes.
