VRL SERIES

Product catalog summary
Overview: The VRL-Series is a high-performance inline planetary gearbox designed for precision and reliability, featuring a thread-in mounting style and a best-in-class backlash of ≤5 arc-min. It is suitable for OEM applications and can replace some competitor models due to its compatible dimensions.
Key Features:
  • Industry-standard mounting dimensions with various frame sizes and ratios.
  • Helical cut gears for quiet operation and reduced vibration.
  • High precision with standard backlash of 5 arc-min.
  • High rigidity and torque capacity through uncaged needle roller bearings.
  • Maintenance-free with high viscosity grease to prevent leakage.
Specifications:
  • Frame sizes: 050, 070, 090, 120, 155, 205, 235.
  • Single-stage ratios: 3 to 10; double-stage ratios: 15 to 100.
  • Nominal output torque varies by frame size and stage, with efficiency up to 95%.
  • Protection class IP54, with IP65 available as an option.
Washdown and Food Grade Options: Customizable options for environments requiring higher protection levels, such as food and beverage industries, include special coatings, sealed bearings, stainless steel components, and food-grade grease.
Model Code Explanation: The model code includes details such as frame size, stage, ratio, output style, and adapter flange code. The online selector tool provides further customization options.
Specifications Overview: Detailed specifications for VRL-Series Inline Shaft models, focusing on frame sizes 070, 090, 120, 155, 205, and 235, in both 1-stage and 2-stage configurations. Key parameters include nominal output torque, maximum acceleration torque, emergency stop torque, nominal and maximum input speeds, no-load running torque, permitted radial and axial loads, maximum radial and axial loads, moment of inertia, efficiency, torsional rigidity, maximum torsional backlash, noise level, protection class, ambient and housing temperatures, and weight.
Procedures: Instructions for adapting the motor shaft using bushings and selecting appropriate adapter flanges. The NIDEC-SHIMPO Online Selector Tool offers comprehensive adapter flange options, and contacting NIDEC-SHIMPO for support is advised.
Norms and Standards: Protection classes IP54 and IP65 indicate the level of protection against dust and water ingress. Service life expectancy is 20,000 hours at nominal input speed.
Recommendations: Users are encouraged to use the NIDEC-SHIMPO Online Selector Tool for the latest updates on adapter flange offerings. For specific testing conditions and environment details, contacting NIDEC-SHIMPO is recommended.
Key Data from Tables: Tables provide detailed dimensions for various adapter codes and input shaft bores, specifying lengths and other critical measurements. Moment of inertia values for different shaft bore sizes and stages are highlighted, showing variations across configurations.
Critical Information: Efficiency ranges from 90% to 95% depending on the frame size and stage. Maximum torsional backlash is consistently ≤ 5 arc-min across all models. Noise levels are specified at ≤ 66 dB for some models and 67 dB for others. Adhering to specified load limits is crucial for ensuring the longevity and performance of the equipment.

VRL SERIES-1

n excellent choice when very requiring good accuracy and reliability at an exceptional value. This inline planetary gearbox has a thread-in mounting style along with a level of precision and torque capacity that is best-in-class. Offered in a coaxial shaft design, with a maximum 5 arc-min backlash rating, the VRL is an accurate, high performance, cost effective solution for any OEM. The VRL Series has dimensions that allow the reducer to be a direct substitute for some other common competitor models. The machining quality of the helical planetary gears means a very quiet and more efficient gearbox than competitive products. These planetary gearheads are the perfect solution for servomotor applications such as gantries, injection-molding machines, pick and place automation, and linear slides.
