Right-angle gear unit 3.6.1 3.6.1 The gear units from the AG2250 series are available as a standard version "PLE" and as an angle version "WPLE". In the case of right-angle gear units, the input shaft and output shaft are arranged in different directions to each other. The right-angle gear unit version, for example, is perfectly suited for dynamic multi- axis systems and limited installation space.
Product overview Intended use The planetary gear units and right-angle gear units from the AG2250 series may be operated only for the intended activities defined in this documentation, taking into account the prescribed environmen- tal conditions. The components are installed in electrical plants or machines.
