Many applications require a custom unit. Below is a list of some of the special applications gearheads and speed reducers that Sterling Instrument can produce from their inventory of existing designs.
Zero-Backlash Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which require minimal lost motion throughout the gear train.
Splined Shaft Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which require direct meshing with other component parts of the gear train.
Low-Backlash Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which do not require zero backlash, but do require lower backlash than our standard units.
Tandem Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which require reduction ratios higher than shown for our standard units.
Exact Ratio Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications requiring reduction ratios which are even integers.
Integral Slip Clutch Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which require a built-in torque limiting device.
Heavy-Duty Gearheads and Speed Reducers: For applications which require two or three times the available output torque of standard gearheads and speed reducers.
