  The economic alphira - Saving you £££'s
CP (alphira) picture
WITTENSTEIN's economic alphira (CP) In-Line planetary gearhead can save you £££'s . Designed with the blueprint  of the hugely successful LP+ series and based on the experience of manufacturing more than 1,000,000+ gearheads for global use, the CP is a more compact, light-weight and most of all more cost effective gearhead. In terms of reliability, efficiency and precision the alphira is every bit as impressive as all other  planetary gearheads in the alpha family.  The alphira is the most economic of WITTENSTEIN's In-line planetary gearhead range and is available in four sizes; 040, 060, 080 and 115 (there is a size for almost any simple servo application within the automation industry) with ratios from 4:1 to 100:1.
Perfect for servo and stepper motor applications, the alphira is optimally equipped for the job and available in only one to two weeks. (If required speedline service is available) Contact us today if you require further information or to discuss an application you have with us so that we can establish your requirements.
Made to suit your requirements:

Here at WITTENSTEIN we want to ensure you are receiving the best service possible.
