WPLHE Economy Right Angle Gearbox

Axially space-saving, economical, IP65-compliant, and designed for high radial and axial forces at the output, the WPLHE combines all the advantages of the successful PLHE, the world's first combination of the Economy and Precision gearboxes, as a right-angle variant. Specifically, the WPLHE features both the gearing of a proven economy gearbox and a high-performance output bearing with preloaded tapered roller bearings, which are otherwise commonly used in precision gearboxes. This means that the new right-angle gearbox tolerates high radial and axial forces of up to 8,000 N at the output. For example, pulley drives with high radial loads can also be implemented in right-angle designs.

The WPLHE offers the ideal solution in confined spaces, such as packaging and other special machines. It is the only Economy right-angle gearbox to be offered with a premounted pinion as an option. This makes it particularly suitable for space and cost-sensitive rack-and-pinion drives. There are 13 different pinions from which to choose, with choice of straight-cut or helical-cut teeth, from module 2 to 3, with numbers of teeth from 15 to 27.

With the output geometry with square output flange and long centering flange that has become established on the market, the WPLHE is easy to implement. Several different output shaft variants - smooth, keyed, splined or with premounted pinion - mean that the right-angle gearbox can be used in a wide range of applications. It is also the only Economy right-angle gearbox with IP65 protection class, making it suitable for harsh, dusty, and dirty environments.

The WPLHE is now available in the three sizes, 060 / 080 / 120, either as a single-stage version (in the ratio range 3 to 10) or as a two-stage version (ratios 9 to 100).
