Raydafon BPG/BPGA precision planetary gear units share the same case-hardened and ground planetary gearing and differ only at the output interface. BPG uses a solid keyed output shaft for coupling, while BPGA uses a large output flange for direct bolt-on to driven equipment. Ratios cover 3:1 to 100:1, single-stage backlash is <3 arcmin, two-stage backlash is <5 arcmin, single-stage efficiency reaches up to 97%, and rated torque covers 25 Nm to 1000 Nm depending on frame size. Standard IEC motor flanges and hollow input shafts allow direct coupling to servo or stepper motors. Used in robotics, CNC machine tools, packaging and printing, automation, medical equipment and aerospace. OEM ratios, backlash, shafts, flanges and housings available.
BPG/BPGA Precision Planetary Gear Units for High-Torque Servo Axes
BPG and BPGA precision planetary gear units share the same internal gearing and differ only at the output interface. BPG uses a solid output shaft for coupling through a keyed connection. BPGA uses a large output flange for direct bolt-on to driven equipment. Both use case-hardened and ground planetary gears with backlash <3 arcmin single-stage and <5 arcmin two-stage, delivering high torque density, smooth running and long service life on servo and stepper axes.

BPG vs BPGA – Choose by Output Interface
The internal gearing, backlash class, efficiency and torque ratings are identical. The only decision is whether the driven machine takes a shaft coupling or a bolt-on flange.
BPGSolid output shaft
BPG units use a solid keyed output shaft. They couple through a coupling, a timing pulley or a pinion. Standard IEC motor flanges and hollow input shaft allow direct bolt-on to servo or stepper motors.
Output typeSolid keyed shaft
Coupling methodCoupling / pulley / pinion
MountingFlange + foot
Typical useIndex tables, gantry axes
BPGAOutput flange
BPGA units use a large output flange instead of a shaft. They bolt directly to the driven hub, gear or tooling, removing the coupling and shortening the drivetrain. Torque ratings match the equivalent BPG size.
Output typeBolt-on flange
Coupling methodDirect bolt to driven hub
MountingFlange only
Typical useRobot joints, tooling heads

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BPG vs BPGA, backlash, motor compatibility and service life.
What is the difference between BPG and BPGA planetary gear units?
BPG models use a solid keyed output shaft for coupling through a coupling, pulley or pinion. BPGA models use a large output flange for direct bolt-on to the driven hub. Internal gearing, backlash class, efficiency and torque ratings are identical, so the choice depends only on the output interface your equipment requires.
What is the typical backlash for standard BPG/BPGA units?
Standard single-stage backlash is <3 arcmin and two-stage backlash is <5 arcmin. Ultra-precision single-stage versions with <1 arcmin are available on request for high-precision axes such as inspection, measuring and medical positioning.
Can BPG/BPGA match my servo or stepper motor?
Yes. BPG/BPGA units are designed with standard IEC motor flanges and hollow input shafts for direct coupling to servo or stepper motors. Custom flanges for other motor brands, including NEMA, are available on request for OEM projects.
What is the maximum input speed?
Standard input speeds up to 6000 rpm are supported. Higher speeds are available for specific applications. Rated input speed for continuous duty is 3000 rpm on standard models.
Does BPG/BPGA need oil changes?
No. BPG/BPGA units are filled with high-grade synthetic lubricant and sealed at the factory. Under normal operating conditions, no oil change or re-greasing is required during the service life of the unit.
What is the warranty period and OEM lead time?
We provide an 18-month warranty from shipment date covering manufacturing defects, with full technical support. Standard BPG/BPGA models are stocked; custom OEM orders typically ship within 25–35 working days after drawing confirmation.
