High Precision Low Backlash AF90 Helical Gear Gearbox for CNC

The AF90 helical gear gearbox delivers smooth and stable power transmission for CNC and industrial automation equipment. Its helical gear structure improves tooth engagement and distributes loads more evenly.

This design helps reduce vibration and operating noise during continuous operation. It also provides consistent torque transmission for demanding motion control applications.

SHENLI designs the AF90 for equipment that requires reliable transmission, controlled backlash, and long-term operating stability.


Description

Smooth Helical Gear Transmission

The helical gear arrangement creates a larger tooth contact area than conventional spur gear designs. This structure distributes transmission loads more evenly across the gear teeth.

As a result, the helical gear gearbox provides smoother power delivery and reduced mechanical impact.

The design also helps minimize vibration and noise. This makes the AF90 suitable for CNC machines and other precision automation equipment.

High Torque and Low-Noise Performance

The AF90 supports high torque transmission while maintaining stable operation at different speeds.

Its optimized gear engagement helps improve load capacity and transmission efficiency. The gearbox also reduces mechanical shock during operation.

These characteristics make the AF90 a practical high-torque gearbox for demanding motion control systems.

Typical applications include:

  • CNC machinery
  • Industrial automation
  • Motion control equipment
  • Robotic systems
  • Precision machinery
  • Automated production lines

Low Backlash for Precision Motion Control

Backlash directly affects positioning accuracy in precision transmission systems. SHENLI controls critical gear tolerances to maintain low backlash performance.

Precision grinding improves gear surface quality and dimensional consistency. High-precision bearings further reduce radial and axial deviations.

The result is a low-backlash gearbox designed for applications that require repeatable positioning and controlled motion.

Multiple Gear Ratio Options

The AF90 series supports multiple gear ratios for different speed and torque requirements.

Customers can select suitable ratios according to their equipment configuration. The gearbox can also work with stepper motors and servo motors.

This flexibility helps engineers achieve better motor-to-load matching.

The helical gear gearbox can therefore support different transmission requirements without changing the overall system concept.

Precision Gear Manufacturing

SHENLI manufactures the gearbox using high-strength alloy steel gears. Carburizing and heat treatment improve surface hardness and wear resistance.

Critical gear surfaces receive precision grinding treatment. This process helps maintain accurate tooth geometry and stable transmission performance.

High-quality bearings support smooth operation. An optimized lubrication system also helps reduce friction and component wear.

Industrial robots.
Automated assembly equipment.
Packaging machinery.
Material handling systems.
Laser processing machines.
CNC machine tools.
New energy equipment.
Smart manufacturing production lines.
