Parallel Shaft Reducer
When you have an industrial job that requires high torque, the parallel shaft reducer is your girl. This type of assembly is what you see on conveyor systems, crushers, mining applications and bucket elevators. It seems as if in-line gear reducers are everywhere because of their highly efficient designs and features, such as:
- Simple maintenance: The smooth, flat surfaces on a parallel shaft reducer make the assembly simpler to clean than other gearbox models. Plus, the large inspection cover and the horizontally split design make the gearbox easier to examine and perform routine maintenance.
- In-place repairs: The split design of the gear drive allows for easy access and in-place repairs. This means that you don’t have to take it apart or drain the lubrication, which reduces downtime and saves on maintenance costs.
- Outer cover assembly: A parallel shaft reducer has an outer cover assembly that traps contaminants, like grease, before they enter the drive. This feature simplifies the gear reducer’s maintenance and helps prolong its life.
