SMSR shaft-mount speed reducers, NMR worm gear units and TR in-line gear units are available from Bearings International (BI) as part of the company’s Motodrive brand, which offers economically priced alternatives to traditional competitor products available on the market. The SMSR gear unit is a robust, hard-working, simply-constructed gear unit used in conjunction with belts and pulleys to manipulate the overall ratio requirements. Units are available from Size D to Size J, in ratios from 13:1 and 20:1, as well as in parallel standard size bores with key only. This shaft-mount speed reducer includes a complete torque arm assembly and is fully interchangeable with other brands. Motor bases, belts and pulleys and holdbacks are not included. Production line manufacturing guarantees tolerances and consistent quality, especially in terms of helical gear components.

BI focuses on all market segments, from domestic use to heavy industry, mining, steel and other sectors, supplying products from Mechano set size chain to massive drill rig drive and pulldown chains, and gearboxes suitable for spitbraais to massive furnaces or curing oven drives. Technical support is offered by BI’s experienced product managers, in conjunction with the company’s principal suppliers. Installation is supported through the company’s engineering department and its various partners. BI’s extensive branch network ensures that someone is in every area to tend to any immediate concerns or issues, in addition to call-on assistance from the 24/7 product support team.
