The NP servo gearbox is also used outside the typical industrial environment: For research purposes, the planetary gearboxes are used in installations for the simulation of tides or tsunamis as well as for coastline and port basin optimization. With the wave simulators, shipyards or research centers can simulate and investigate the behavior of ships at sea or in a port, in ordinary but also in extreme situations.
Each wave simulator has a certain number of paddles for generating very special wave types and frequencies. Depending on the size of the simulator and the type of wave to be simulated – deep and shallow water, sea, current and storm conditions or river mouths – a belt drive, ball screw or rack and pinion drive are used. The size of the individual paddles can vary from a few centimeters to several meters.
Product Highlights
- Unique modularity in this segment
With five series including five different output interfaces, the NP series offers maximum flexibility. From a simple machine connection using a B5 or B14 output flange to a flange connection or adjustment via slotted holes – the suitable solution for your machine requirements.
The gearboxes of the alpha Value Line are very economical to purchase, unbeatably efficient in operation, and maintenance free over their entire service life.
