Description

Ultra-Compact Power Transmission for Space-Restricted Systems

Engineered specifically for next-generation miniature automation systems, the SHENLI DLF28 Low-Backlash Planetary Gearbox delivers an outstanding power-to-weight ratio in an ultra-compact 28mm frame size.

When installation space is severely limited, the DLF28 offers an uncompromised power transmission solution. Featuring a high-density planetary gear layout, it generates high torque output without increasing machinery footprint. It seamlessly simplifies system integration, reduces total equipment dimensions, and fully satisfies the demanding requirements of lightweight micro-automation modules and AGV drive units.

High Positioning Accuracy & Low Backlash Control

For precision motion control applications, gear mesh stability directly dictates positioning repeatability. The DLF28 planetary gearbox adopts advanced multi-tooth simultaneous engagement technology, distributing mechanical load evenly across gear surfaces.

This specialized design significantly dampens mechanical impact and operational vibration. As a premium low-backlash planetary gearbox tailored for micro-robotics and automated optical drives, the DLF28 guarantees exceptional backlash control, maintaining rock-solid movement consistency and accurate positioning even under continuous stop-and-go cycles. Multiple gear ratios are available to pair perfectly with NEMA 11 and micro stepper motors for maximum transmission efficiency.

Industrial-Grade Alloy Construction & Extended Lifecycle

At SHENLI, long-term durability and product consistency are built into every gear. All gears inside the DLF28 are precision-machined from high-strength alloy steel and treated with advanced thermal processes to maximize fatigue resistance and torque capacity.

Key highlights of the DLF28 quality standard include:

  • Low Friction & High Efficiency: Premium micro bearings drastically reduce internal friction, elevating energy efficiency.

  • Low Maintenance: Optimized internal lubrication structures extend maintenance intervals and prolong service life.
