Ever greater modularity

The square flanges for servomotors give Varvel’s extensive offering greater modularity and facilitate customization

Varvel Group has been designing and producing gearboxes and variators for small and medium power applications since 1955 and is present in more than 60 countries in all five continents.

Last Year, Varvel introduced a new range of square flanges for servomotors designed to extend the scope for customization and make it easier than ever for customers to find the right solution to their needs.

IEC and NEMA flanges conform to the same standards all over the world, but no unified design parameters exist for stepper motor and brushless servomotor flanges. As a result the diameter of couplings varies from one production area to another and there is no global compatibility. This situation obviously makes the market for square flanges extremely complex. Some manufacturers with specific needs demand custom designs to match the motors they use, while others set about adapting conventional flanges, not always with excellent results.

The Varvel Group, has introduced a new range of square flanges for servomotors, capable of guaranteeing perfect coupling to all the popular Varvel gearboxes.

The catalogue offers manufacturers all over the world a range of square flanges and couplings perfectly suited to all Varvel gearbox sizes that can be coupled to common brushless servomotors and stepper motors.

The flanges are available in sizes from 28 to 110 (corresponding to Varvel's small and medium gearboxes) and made from anodized aluminium in conformity to the functional and stylistic standards of the Varvel product range.

This product underscores the importance of modularity to Varvel. By permitting new coupling options, it will also improve the level of Varvel service. By simplifying configuration and coupling, the new flanges will improve competitiveness and allow manufacturers to offer packaged solutions based on perfectly integrated components, ready for use on end user machines.
