Purchase now: Wittenstein NP005S-MF1-10-0C1-1S Gearbox
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Wittenstein Alpha NP005S-MF1-10-0C1-1S, a high-precision **Miniature Planetary Gearbox** from the versatile **alpha Basic Line**. The NP series represents the next generation of efficient gearheads, offering superior torque density compared to legacy LP/CP models. This specific **Size 005** unit is incredibly compact, making it the default choice for space-constrained applications in medical robotics, semiconductor handling, and small assembly cells.
Technical Specifications and Miniature Design
With a reduction ratio of **10:1** (Single Stage), the NP005S provides smooth torque multiplication while maintaining high efficiency (> 97%). The **»-0C1″** suffix is the critical **Motor Interface Code**. It defines the exact pilot diameter, bolt circle, and shaft clamping size for the servo motor. Given the small scale of the Size 005, the input interface must match the motor micron-perfectly to avoid alignment issues. The «S» indicates the Standard version with a smooth or keyed output shaft (verify specific drawing).

Expert Tips: Mounting Miniature Motors
Small screws, big problems. Expert Tip: When mounting a motor to the **NP005**, you are dealing with very small clamping screws (often M3 or M4). It is extremely easy to over-torque and strip the head or the thread. You must use a calibrated torque screwdriver (not just a wrench) set to the specific low Nm value found in the manual. Also, ensure the motor shaft is completely clean of grease to ensure the friction grip works on such a small diameter.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the difference between NP and CP series?
A: The NP (New Planetary) is the modernized version of the CP. It typically offers higher torque ratings, better stiffness, and improved output bearing capacities in the same or smaller footprint.
Q: Is this suitable for vacuum environments?
A: Standard NP units use standard grease. For vacuum applications, you would need a special order with vacuum-compatible lubricant to prevent outgassing. Contact us for custom lubrication options.
