Gear heads

Mounting options have been expanded: RD2 gears are also suitable for belt-drive operation or can be installed at right angles, boosting flexibility.

The reduction gear heads combine the advantages of RV trochoidal gears – already sold millions of times – with easy mounting. The gear head is closed and filled with grease, so it is ready for installation. To further aid installation, an adapter plate and a motor shaft coupling are included. Nabtesco offers gear variants with and without a hollow shaft. 

Marcus Löw, manager sales department at Nabtesco explains: "We have further optimised the design, so that the new gears are even more lightweight and compact. It is important for our customers to know that switching from the old series to the new RD2 series is easy, since the mounting dimensions and boring patterns are identical."
