GAM has released a new GSL series of strain wave gearboxes designed to provide zero-backlash and high Source: GAMSource: GAMtorque in a small gearbox for robotic and motion control applications.

The GSL gearbox uses harmonic gearing for a very compact design that easily integrates into applications requiring high ratios and high precision in a small form factor. The GSL series is available in frame sizes 14 to 40 and reduction ratios 50:1 to 160:1.

Options for the GSL series include the “hat” and “cup” type with keyed bore, hollow or shaft inputs. The GSL is also offered in basic component form for fully integrating into a variety of applications such as robot joints, autonomous remote vehicles, antenna positions or any other uses requiring zero-backlash and high torque in a small gearbox.
