To expand the potential configurations and overall solutions that NIDEC-SHIMPO could offer their customers, they have developed an impressive right-angle planetary gearbox offering. The core right-angle products are established from the base design of their inline equivalents. Similar to NIDEC-SHIMPO's Inline offering, their EV right-angle series have some differences in terms of internal bearing design, and output mounting, among others that differentiate each series from the other. The different series are available in the same frame size variety and most of the ratios as offered with the inline.
The EV right-angle product family is an excellent option when space is a key design constraint for the equipment manufacturer. With NIDEC-SHIMPO's rapidly growing customer base in the packaging, general material handling, and machine tool industries, NIDEC-SHIMPO is seeing accelerating demand for their right-angle planetary gearboxes. To manage this growing demand, NIDEC-SHIMPO has established stocking and assembly capabilities in its North American build facility in Glendale Heights, IL.
