SERVO AXIS WORKSHEET

Specify the motion.
Then choose the gearhead.

For a reversing servo axis, start with the permitted output error, motion cycle and motor drawing. A catalogue precision grade becomes useful only after it is tied to a frame, ratio, stage count and measurement condition.

01

Write the positioning budget in output units

Keep gearbox backlash, elastic deflection under load, coupling movement and the machine's required repeatability as separate entries. Ask which portion of the allowable error is assigned to the gearbox, and specify the load and direction reversal used for acceptance.

Scale example, not an axis-accuracy prediction: 3 arcmin = 0.05°. At a 100 mm radius, that angle corresponds to about 0.087 mm of arc travel. This conversion does not include compliance, control error or the rest of the mechanism.

WANSHSIN's manufacturer profile links to the WVRB family. For frame WVRB090, the official table separates these limits by grade and stage. [1]

WVRB090 · manufacturer-listed maximum backlash, arcmin
AssemblyP0P1P2
Single stage, listed ratios 3–10≤1.5≤3≤5
Two stages, listed ratios 15–100≤3≤5≤8

The same P1 label therefore has two limits in this family. Copy the full assembly and grade into the RFQ, then request its test conditions. Grade letters alone are not a cross-supplier standard.

02

Check the ratio against the complete speed cycle

Illustrative requirement: 3,000 rpm motor speed and 150 rpm output imply a target ratio of 20:1. The WVRB table lists 20:1 in its two-stage group. That changes the applicable backlash row; it also calls for the selected unit's inertia, efficiency and speed limits. [1]

Use the maximum motor speed reached during the actual move, not only the speed printed in a nominal operating point. Send acceleration time, reversal frequency, dwell and emergency-stop conditions so the supplier can check the complete cycle. A ratio that fits the output speed does not by itself establish torque or settling performance.

Bring the load inertia into the motor calculation

Kollmorgen explains that reduction gearing reduces the load inertia reflected to the motor by the square of the ratio. [3] For an idealised rigid drive, Jreflected load = Jload / i². This term is only part of the sizing: include gearbox/coupling inertia and the motor's own rotor, and confirm the servo manufacturer's sizing and tuning criteria.

For illustration, 0.04 kg·m² of load inertia divided by 20² is 0.0001 kg·m². It is not the total inertia of the proposed motor/gearhead assembly.

03

Read what changes when the grade changes

The official KOFON FG090 ratio-4, single-stage row lists 80 Nm nominal torque for both its ultra-precision and P1 variants, but acceleration limits of 150 and 130 Nm respectively. Listed backlash is ≤1 and ≤3 arcmin. The lubrication note also separates oil for its ultra-precision/Z variants from grease for P1. [2]

That example makes the supplier question concrete: obtain a complete row and operating instructions for the requested grade. Do not change only a precision suffix in a quotation while retaining another variant's acceleration allowance or lubricant instructions. See the KOFON profile for the source trail and configuration checks.

04

Approve the motor fit before releasing the order

“Fits a 750 W servo” is incomplete. Send the motor maker and full model code with its dimensioned drawing. Have the supplier return one assembly drawing showing the motor adapter and the reducer together.

Locating and fastening
Flange pilot diameter/depth, bolt circle or square pattern, hole/thread sizes and seating faces.
Torque connection
Motor shaft diameter, tolerance, usable length, key or clamping arrangement, insertion depth and tightening access.
Machine envelope
Motor body/brake length, cable exits, reducer length, output flange/shaft and space for installation or removal.
Loads and sign-off
External radial/axial loads and overhang, mounting orientation, actual speed/torque cycle, drawing revision and full order code.

These are editorial procurement checks, not a claim that a pictured gearbox is compatible with every servo brand.

Send a servo-axis brief, not a nominal frame number

Attach the motion profile, load inertia and required output error; state the proposed ratio and stage count, motor drawing, continuous/acceleration/stop loads and the agreed backlash test. Request a selected model row, matching adapter drawing and lubrication instructions.

This worksheet concentrates on precision servo gearheads. Industrial planetary, hydraulic winch and miniature multi-stage drives in the wider directory need their own duty and interface assessment; the precision-grade examples above are not their specifications.

A planetary gearbox shares load across several planet gears. Confirm nominal and peak torque separately, together with ratio, input speed, backlash and mounting dimensions.

ManufacturerProduct focusProfileActions
Pingyao XINKAIShanxi, ChinaHelical · Bevel · Planetary · Worm · Cycloidal

Pingyao XINKAI in Shanxi supplies QJ/QY crane reducers, YN permanent-magnet semi-direct drives, modular replacement units and other heavy-duty industrial transmissions. Match the machine load cycle, shaft interfaces, housing construction and agreed acceptance testing before selecting a frame.

SIGGEARDongguan, Guangdong, ChinaPlanetary

Guangdong Siggear Transmission Intelligent Technology develops compact gearboxes and geared motors. The official catalogue includes distinct 22 mm and 28 mm metal planetary gearbox models, SG-PG22 and SG-PG28. Both pages publish stage-by-stage ratio, permissible load and efficiency tables as well as the installation envelope and input-speed limit. These are miniature gearboxes for actuator and geared-motor integration, not industrial heavy-duty reducers. The buyer should choose a diameter, stage count, duty point and motor interface before using the source tables; the four-stage maxima should not be paired with one-stage efficiency values.

Ruiding Precision TransmissionGao’an, Jiangxi, ChinaPlanetary

Jiangxi Ruiding Precision Transmission lists several planetary reducer architectures on its official site. The AF family uses helical gearing for precision servo transmission, while PSE is a straight-tooth planetary family. Their separate catalog images include model codes and performance tables with frame, ratio, rated output torque, input speed, backlash grade, temperature and enclosure class. A buyer can compare specific frame-and-ratio cells instead of combining unrelated series maxima. The company also publishes dimensions and application categories, including CNC equipment and industrial automation. The source data below retain only clearly legible official figures; request the current drawing for a selected motor interface.

BEITTOPinghu, Zhejiang, ChinaPlanetary

Zhejiang Beitto Transmission Technology presents a range of precision planetary and harmonic reducers on its official site. AHB and AHL are two distinct inline planetary series with separate housing-size lists and standard backlash grades. The company-hosted catalog images include model-code diagrams, reductions for one- and two-stage builds, cutaway views and product photographs. AHB is the tighter-backlash choice in the two documented catalog sections; AHL offers a different size envelope. The figures are series selection data, not a guarantee that every frame and ratio has the same rated torque. Buyers should request the relevant frame sheet and a motor-adapter drawing.

TECHMECHWuxi, Jiangsu, ChinaPlanetary

TECHMECH is the gearbox brand presented by Wuxi Tengma Precision Transmission. Its official product catalogue covers multiple precision planetary series, including the right-angle TST and inline TF designs documented here. The pages publish output-frame sizes, ratio choices and backlash figures, allowing a buyer to narrow a configuration before asking for a dimensional drawing. TST uses a right-angle layout and can be paired with another gear stage; TF is an inline precision reducer designed for smooth servo-drive operation. Each series must be specified by frame and stage arrangement rather than combining limits from separate configurations.

TIANYIDongguan, Guangdong, ChinaPlanetary

Dongguan Tianyi Precision Electromechanical is identified on the Tianyi group website, which presents spindle motors, servo motors and planetary gearboxes. Its reducer catalog distinguishes standard spur families from higher-precision helical families, right-angle units, flange-output units and rotary platforms. The two product pages below retain the official design and efficiency information while avoiding a false model-level torque claim. Some selector choices on the website have different precision limits from the family introduction, so the exact frame, stage and grade require confirmation. The group lists several member companies; confirm the manufacturing and contracting entity for the selected gearbox when requesting a quotation.

TONGYU / JMCTaizhou, Zhejiang, ChinaPlanetary

Zhejiang Tongyu Variable-Speed Machinery publishes precision transmission products under its TONGYU/JMC identity. The TAB and TAD precision planetary families use helical alloy-steel gears with surface hardening and precision grinding. The official pages distinguish the number of available frame sizes and the single- and double-stage ratio selections for each family. Both pages state a maximum rated torque of 2,000 Nm across the range, without a frame-by-frame rating table. This profile therefore keeps that value at series level. For a servo-axis quotation, supply the motor flange, shaft dimensions, acceleration cycle and permissible lost motion so the manufacturer can identify the exact assembly.

DESBOER / NanpengChangzhou, Jiangsu, ChinaPlanetary

Changzhou Nanpeng Machinery publishes planetary gearboxes under the DESBOER brand. Its NB inline and NBR right-angle families have distinct installation layouts and separately documented rating tables. Official catalog sheets cover ratio-dependent torque, rated and maximum input speeds, precision grades, bearing loads, efficiency, mass and operating temperature. The examples below use NB060 and NBR090, with single-stage torque values mapped to individual ratios. Precision-grade limits are kept separate from generic marketing claims. Provide the full motor designation, required output interface and dynamic load profile when requesting a selection; a shared ratio does not establish mechanical interchangeability between NB and NBR.
