VS+ worm gearbox

  • VS+ worm gearbox with solid shaft
  • VS+ worm gearbox with metal bellows coupling BC3
  • VS+ worm gearbox with rack and pinion

Powerful torque but quiet running

The VS+ worm gearbox of the V-Drive family is characterised by a constantly low backlash. This guarantees consistently high quality with high positioning accuracy over the entire service life of the gear unit.

Product highlights

Strong performance

The VS+ worm gearbox convinces with a strong performance in economical standard applications in cyclic and continuous operation.

No stick-slip-effect

The stick-slip effect is not an issue in applications with the VS+ thanks to the perfected hollow-flank toothing.

High flexibility

In addition to the shaft, the worm gearboxes are also available in a corrosion-resistant design.

Radial shaft seal

  • very long service life
  • optimized for continous operation 

Hollow-flank toothing

  • high accuracy of torsional backlash throughout the entire service life
  • High efficiency and extremely high power density

Input bearing

  • bearing package for absorbing axial and radial forces
  • very well suited for high input speeds

Metal bellows coupling

  • completely backlash-free
  • fatigue endurable and maintenance-free
  • easy to mount
  • integrated length compensation feature protects the motor

Output bearing

  • high overload capacity for absorbing axial and radial forces
