Alpha Getriebebau SP180-MF1-5-141-000 Planetary Gearhead Speed Reducer

The SP180-MF1-5-141-000 Planetary Gearhead Speed Reducer from Alpha Getriebebau is a compact gearhead that lowers motor speed while multiplying output torque, delivering a 4:1 reduction in a single, robust package. Centered on a planetary gear set, this SP180-series unit is designed to transmit rotary motion with high precision and smooth torque transfer in automated systems where space and reliability matter. The part number SP180-MF1-5-141-000 identifies this exact configuration and it is intended for integration with drive systems that require a moderate reduction without enlarging the overall footprint. In operation, a 4:1 reduction means the output shaft turns at one quarter of the input speed, while the resulting torque increases proportionally to the gear ratio (accounting for typical efficiency losses in real-world use). Typical applications include robotics, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, and other industrial automation tasks that demand controlled motion and improved positional accuracy. This gearhead is part of Alpha's SP180 family, known for compact form factors and dependable gear trains that support consistent performance in demanding environments.
