Speed Reducers for Position- and Speed-Control Motors

Pair these speed reducers with stepper and servo motors in position- and speed-control applications. Helical gears provide exact positioning and smoother travel than our other speed reducers. Attach to a motor to transmit motion parallel to the motor shaft while reducing speed and increasing torque.

IP65 Enclosure Rating—They meet IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Radial Load Capacity—Radial loads are loads that are perpendicular to the shaft. They’re commonly caused by components attached to shaft, such as pulleys and sprockets.

High-Power Metal Helical Gears

The helical teeth on these gears stay in contact longer than straight teeth, which allows them to transmit higher loads at higher speeds than spur gears.

Crossed Gears

Crossed helical gears, also known as screw gears, can be configured to transmit motion at a 90° angle or in a straight line. To transmit motion at a 90° angle, pair two gears with the same tooth direction. To transmit motion in a straight line, make sure to get one left-hand and one right-hand gear.

For gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module. To change speed and torque in your assembly, pair two gears with different numbers of teeth.

Parallel Gears

Pair two parallel gears to transmit motion in a straight line or a gear with a rack to convert rotary motion to linear motion. Make sure mating components have different tooth directions.

For gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module. To change speed and torque in your assembly, pair two gears with different numbers of teeth.
