NeveRest 40 Features
All Steel Gears
All four stages of the NeveRest 40 gearbox use steel gears.
Gearbox without housing Encoder
Attached Encoder
One of the most exciting features of the NeveRest 40 is its attached encoder. This is built onto the back
side of the motor and runs directly off the motor’s shaft. Having the encoder mounted to the motor
allows us to use an encoder with fewer pulses per revolution (PPR) while still having high resolution at
the output shaft. The encoder has 7 PPR; with the 40:1 gearbox, there are 280 PPR of the output shaft.
Having a rear mounted encoder frees up a large amount of space on the output shaft for more flexibility
with mounting gears and sprockets.
Electrical Connection
The electrical connection to a motor is often an issue, and we worked hard to make sure this motor has
a secure and robust connection. The encoder allows us to integrate a wire terminal to secure the wiring
for the encoder while the motor’s wires will be permanently connected to the motor itself.
