Alpha's Precision Gearhead eliminates need for right angle gearbox
The LPB+ offers the option of adding an integrated geared pulley drive system. The belt pulley eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and/or additional bearings - in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time for the system.

Always striving to offer the ideal gear reducer solution for customer application requirements, alpha is proud of its LP+/LPB+ Value Line series of gearheads. Its economic precision products are reliable and – thanks to a unique lubrication concept – maintenance-free for their entire service life. Focused on less demanding applications, these gear reducers offer outstanding efficiency with low tortional backlash. The LPB+ offers the option of adding an integrated geared pulley drive system. The belt pulley eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and/or additional bearings - in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time for the system.

The gear reducers achieve more than 95% efficiency at full load. The two-stage reducer restricts torsional backlash to less than 10 arcminutes, while the single-stage version operates at under 8 arcminutes. alpha gear drives is an industry innovator for motion control products – manufacturing and marketing precision planetary gearheads and actuators used in automated machines for the printing, packaging, food processing, machining and medical industries.
