Nidec-Shimpo VRGS-9D120-1400 Planetary Gearbox

The Nidec-Shimpo VRGS-9D120-1400 Planetary Gearbox is a precision planetary reducer from the Nidec-Shimpo VRGS family, identified by model VRGS-9D120-1400 and catalog entry #335369. This compact gear reducer uses a planetary gear train to provide torque multiplication and speed reduction for servo or stepper motor applications in automation and robotics. The VRGS line is built for reliable performance in industrial settings, delivering efficient power transmission within a small envelope. Exact performance data such as torque, input speed, and mounting interfaces are determined by the mating hardware and installation requirements, so engineers typically consult the official datasheets and mounting options from Nidec-Shimpo for precise integration. In practice, gearboxes in the VRGS family are chosen to achieve repeatable motion and smooth operation in automated systems where space is limited, including robotic axes, automated assembly modules, and compact machine-tool configurations. The designation 9D120-1400 conveys its position within the VRGS lineup, while the trailing #335369 helps identify its catalog entry in industrial distributors. Nidec-Shimpo’s approach emphasizes consistent performance and long service life, supporting integration with compatible servo or motor drives in factory automation environments.
