Raptor SS precision planetary gearhead from CGI is washdown-ready

By Lisa Eitel | February 27, 2017

The Raptor SS precision planetary gearhead from CGI Inc. offers stainless-steel construction and IP65-rated sealing for a washdown-ready design that is suitable in food and beverage and other sanitary applications.

The planetary gearhead also has high stiffness to withstand high loading — as well as high-torque gear geometry.

Components are made of advanced materials that get specialty heat treatment for durability. There are also versions of the planetary gearhead that come with a white epoxy coating and optional food-grade grease for food-related applications.

The Raptor SS has features that simplify installation; it can mount in any direction and has a captive input pinion. NEMA and metric configurations are standard.

Maximum input speed for the planetary gearhead is 6,500 rpm. Service life exceeds 15,000 hours. Maximum backlash (arc-min) is 4 (for the one-stage design), 6 (for the two-stage design), and 8 (for the three-stage design).

• Efficiency for the one-stage design stage is better than 95%

• Efficiency for the two-stage design stage is better than 90%

• Efficiency for the three-stage design stage is better than 85%
