Product catalog summary

Introduction to Galaxie® Drive System

The Galaxie® Drive System is an innovative gearbox technology characterized by very high torque, torsional rigidity, and absolute zero backlash. It is designed for Industry 4.0 connectivity, offering superior performance through its unique design.

Innovative Design and Functionality

The core innovation of the Galaxie® Drive System is its almost full surface contact during power transmission, which is 6.5 times larger than conventional systems. This is achieved through a unique kinematic design where individual teeth are guided along an internal ring gear, utilizing a logarithmic spiral tooth geometry for optimal power transmission.

Performance and Specifications

The Galaxie® Drive System offers zero backlash and full stiffness, with synchronization accuracy ensured by the logarithmic spiral design. It surpasses traditional hollow-shaft drives in performance, providing:

  • 3 times higher nominal torque
  • Up to 440% higher overload capacity
  • Up to 250% higher maximum torque
  • 250 to 870% better torsional rigidity
  • Exceptional repeatability of 4 arcsec

Industry 4.0 and Engineering Opportunities

The system is ready for Industry 4.0, allowing transmission of operating data throughout its lifecycle. It offers new productivity opportunities for high-performance engineering, with reported benefits such as a 40% increase in productivity and 50% shorter cycle times due to higher rigidity.

Variants and Sizes

The Galaxie® Drive System is available in four variants and five sizes, each designed for specific applications:

  • Galaxie® DF: Ultra-flat hollow-shaft compact drive
  • Galaxie® GH: Right-angle gearbox with hypoid input stage
  • Galaxie® D: Hollow-shaft compact drive with axially integrated motor
  • Galaxie® G: Backlash-free gearbox with optional coaxial planetary input stage

Conclusion

The Galaxie® Drive System represents a new dimension in power transmission, offering unprecedented performance and engineering possibilities. It is a benchmark for compactness and dynamic precision, suitable for high-performance applications.
