SB Series Planetary Gearboxes

The SB Series is a high-precision planetary gearbox line designed for servo motor applications. Built with precision-cut metal geartrains, full needle bearings, and optimized gear geometry, SB reducers deliver quiet operation, high torque density, and long service life in a compact cylindrical form factor.

Available in frame sizes 042, 060, 090, 115, 142, 180, and 220 with single-stage and multi-stage reduction ratios from 3:1 to 100:1. Rated output torque ranges from 19 Nm (042SB at 3:1) to 1,140 Nm (220SB at 3:1).
