VRL Series Inline Planetary Gearboxes from Nidec Shimpo

Nidec VRL Series
The VRL series is the all-rounder in the planetary gearbox marketplace. With helical gearing, robust internal construction, smooth operation and high torque density, this product is truly best-in-class. 5 arc-min backlash allows the VRL to be applied to a wide range of applications where accuracy and dynamics are in play, but cost is of concern.

The VRL is an excellent choice for servo applications in packaging, handling and automation systems. A variety of standard wash down and food grade options are available, making it an attractive option for the toughest environments. Nidec Shimpo offers the broadest selection of frame sizes and ratios, giving our customers more flexibility than ever before. Industry standard mounting dimensions allow the VRL to be implemented in legacy machine designs, saving our customers valuable time.
