Thanks to their increasingly compact and cost-effective design, concentric shaft reducers are becoming increasingly popular for high-torque applications. Like any other Falk gear reducer, a concentric drive requires some sort of cooling mechanism in order to maximize its thermal horsepower capacity, or the amount of horsepower it can transmit continuously for at least three hours […]

Parallel shaft drives are no longer the only option for high-torque applications. Nowadays, a concentric shaft reducer can handle high torques just as well – and often for a fraction of the cost and delivery time. Concentric drives have become more compact, as well; where once a concentric shaft reducer would have dwarfed the motor […]
