Purchase now: Wittenstein NP015S-MF1-10-1B1-1S Gearhead
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Wittenstein Alpha NP015S-MF1-10-1B1-1S. This is a precision **Servo Planetary Gearbox** belonging to the **alpha Basic Line**. With a **Ratio of 10:1**, it is designed to reduce motor speed while multiplying torque by a factor of 10, significantly increasing the capabilities of small servo motors. The Size 015 housing is compact, lightweight (aluminum construction), and sealed to **IP64** standards, protecting the internal precision gearing from dust and moisture.
Technical Specifications and The «1B1» Difference
While identical in performance to other NP015 10:1 gearboxes, this specific unit is manufactured with the **»-1B1″ Motor Adapter Interface**. In Wittenstein’s modular system, the gearbox core remains standard, but the input flange is machined to fit a specific range of motors. The «1B1» code typically corresponds to a specific combination of shaft diameter (e.g., 9mm, 11mm, or 14mm – check datasheet) and flange size. It allows for a «Plug & Play» installation without the need for additional intermediate plates.

Expert Installation Advice: Input Clamping
Tighten it right. Expert Tip: The connection between the motor shaft and the gearbox is made via a clamping hub inside the adapter. You access the clamping screw through a hole in the flange. It is **vital** to use a torque wrench set to the exact Nm value specified in the manual for the NP015 hub. If too loose, the motor slips. If too tight, the hub deforms. Also, ensure the motor shaft is degreased before insertion to ensure maximum friction coefficient.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use this for continuous operation (S1)?
A: Yes, but check the thermal limits. At Ratio 10, the input speeds can be high. Ensure the gearbox is mounted to a metal structure to help dissipate heat.
Q: What implies the «1S» at the end?
A: «1S» stands for the Standard Output Shaft generation with a **Smooth** surface (no keyway). This is preferred for dynamic servo applications to prevent keyway wear.
