Nanotec has created low-noise planetary gearboxes for brushless DC and stepper motors with NEMA 17 flanges (42mm, 1.7in). “With the GP42-N series,” according to the company, “the helical toothing allows the teeth to mesh gradually, which results in a smoother transmission of forces so that vibrations and noise are reduced.” The use of plastic planetary …
