RH Series

RH Series Helical Gearboxes

In-line helical reduction built for continuous industrial duty.

Two and three stage in-line helical gearboxes in cast iron housings. Case-hardened, profile-ground helical gearing gives high efficiency and low noise on drives that run around the clock.

Features

Built for Duty

What separates the RH Series from a general-purpose drive.

  • Profile-ground helical gearing

    Ground tooth flanks spread load along the helix, so the unit runs quieter and holds its rating over long service.

  • Cast iron housing

    Rigid one-piece body keeps shaft alignment under shock load and adds mass that damps drive noise.

  • High efficiency per stage

    Around 97 percent per stage means less input power wasted as heat than an equivalent worm drive.

  • Oversized bearings

    Bearings selected for radial and axial overhung load so belt and chain drives can be coupled directly.

  • Modular to geared motor

    The same gear case takes an IEC adapter or a close-coupled motor, sharing spares with the RG Series.

  • Multiple mounting faces

    Foot, B5 flange and B14 face options with machined pads on more than one plane.
