Helical worm gear drives and gear motors

Description

Radicon’s Series C is a combination gear where the first reduction stage is a helical gear stage driving worm shaft and worm wheel gear pair. This design helps improve the energy efficiency of the worm units which traditionally have not needed to take sustainability into account. By using a first stage helical set we are also able to ensure high rations are achieved in a very compact design.

The power range is up to 45 KW power and up to 10,000 Nm in output torque.

The Series C is part of our SWIFT series and therefore shares modular components with our Series M helical gears and Series K bevel gears. Our modular component system allows us to minimise inventory, enhancing the availbility and reducing lead times for our customer of the SWIFT product range.

The electric motor is always an IEC standard motor mounted in a hollow shaft via a patented composite bushing. As Radicon’s SWIFT series uses IEC motors as standard, we can maintain a relatively small stock and still deliver at short notice.

Using IEC standard motors ensures a wide selection of electric motors, including brake motors, motors with extra cooling, extra energy-efficient motors, and more. Additionally, IEC standard motors simplify life for end users, as these motors are readily available worldwide.

Radicon’s Series C can be supplied as 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-stage reduction gearboxes in various configurations such as flange-mounted, foot-mounted, or shaft-mounted. Common equipment includes backstop and encoder flange.

All SWIFT gears feature innovative cast iron housings designed for maximum strength with minimal material usage. This sustainable approach ensures rigidity and minimizes torsional stresses.
