Bearings International’s new Motodrive range of inline helical and shaft mounted helical gear motors with a direct dedicated standard IEC fitment is footprint interchangeable with other European brands on the market. “A standard IEC motor can be directly connected to the IEC motor flange, eliminating the need for an adaptor,” explains Bauer general manager, Knox Ngema. “The result is a simple, compact solution that reduces the overall length of the drive line, a space saving feature for applications where space is at a premium.”
The smaller Motodrive gear motors are manufactured from die cast aluminium while the larger units are manufactured from stronger die cast iron (size dependent) to meet more stringent application requirements. The Motodrive range offers high torque ratings in accordance with AGMA standards, which extends gear life. Product life is prolonged by the automatic entrapment of metallic wear debris. The unique mounting registers for quick, precision alignment ensure fast and easy installation. Front mounting offers mounting flexibility.
Manufactured to European standards, the Motodrive range meets a wide variety of requirements. Packaging, bottling, OEM manufacturing, mining, processing and quarrying are some of the industries that can benefit from this compact, space saving, versatile gear motor range, which will be available at a competitive price.
“The new Motodrive range achieved extremely successful results during in-field testing conducted over an 18 month period,” remarks Ngema. “The direct dedicated standard IEC fitment ensures a simple, fast, compact and affordable solution that will reduce total cost of ownership and provide a good return on investment for our customers.”
