Shaft Mounted Geared Motors for Textile Machines

Shaft mounted gearboxes are a special design version of helical gearboxes. Output axis is positioned parallel but offset to the motor axis. This allows space saving installation with hollow or stub shaft. Advantages of helical gearboxes remain: high efficiency, economical gearing etc.

Key Benefits for Users:

• Energy saving by high overall efficiency
• Compact design requires minimal space
  → Motor housing partly integrated into gearbox housing
• Aluminum housing results in low weight
• Aluminum die cast provide smooth surface
  → Eliminates linter issues
  → High corrosion resistance

Technical Characteristics of Shaft Mounted Geared Motors:

• 2-, 3- or 4-stage gearboxes
• Output torques up to 1,350 Nm
• Reduction ratios from i = 7 up to approximately 2,022
• Motor outputs up to 5.5 kW
• Design per bearing life expectancy, typical value for textile industry:
  40,000 operating hours
• Hollow or stub output shaft
• Torque arm
• Optimized axis distance
• Flange for U- or Z-design
