"M" variant for motor attachment. Adaptation to different motor types The planetary gear unit can be adapted to different motor types with the adapter flange and a spacer sleeve. Maintenance-free ball bearings The ball bearings are lifetime-lubricated and maintenance-free. Version: 2.8 AG2250 ───...
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 in the intended ambient and environ- mental conditions defined in this documentation. The components are installed in plants or machines. Stand-alone operation of the components is not permitted.
