MOTOX parallel shaft geared motors

The low-profile drive

Parallel shaft geared motors are the modern version of coaxial geared motors. As a result of their compact and short design, they take up less space than helical geared motors. Parallel shaft geared motors can either have a solid shaft – or alternatively a hollow shaft as so-called plug-on gear unit. This means that the geared motor is optimally integrated into the driven machine. Additional components – e. g. such as gear wheels or chain wheels – to transmit the force to the driven machine are eliminated. Parallel shaft geared motors represent the space and weight-saving solution within the range of coaxial geared motors.

MOTOX parallel shaft geared motors can be supplied for the power range up to 200 kW and rated gear unit torques up to 20 ? 10³ N.

Geared motors are available in the following versions:

• Foot-mounted or flange-mounted designs
• Design with torque arm
• Solid shaft or hollow shaft designs
• Hollow shaft with feather key, shrink disk, splined shaft

An overview of the technology

Further, double geared motors with 4, 5 and 6 stages are available with gear unit ratios of i = 299 … 71 388.

Typical applications

Parallel shaft geared motors are, for instance, used in agitators.
