Helical gearbox
Helical geared motors are widely used. The installed helical gearboxes are characterized by spur gears on parallel axes, i.e. axial gears with gear pairs arranged in series. The single-stage spur gear unit thus consists of two shafts with one gear wheel each. The torque can be increased by further intermediate shafts with gearwheels. Normally 3 stages per gear are used. Gears can be combined in double gearboxes to increase the reduction ratio. The gear wheels are usually helical toothed.
Due to our long-standing contact to SEW (for special customer requests but also to other large helical geared manufacturers) we can convince with low prices. FOR EXAMPLE:

Applications
- Conveyor sections
- Vertical conveyor
Advantages
- Relatively simple design, due to few moving parts
- Robust
- High service life
- High efficiency
Disadvantages
- Maximum transmission ratio of approx. 6 for one stage
- Relatively large and heavy with the same transmission power (compared to a planetary gearhead)
- Louder than worm gears
Variants
- Spatial position
The spatial position determines the design: foot, flange or in a few cases even both. - Cooling (with or without forced cooling fan)
- Position of the terminal box and the cable entry / plug position
- With & without brake (SEW-brakes & brake rectifier)
- With & without tacho encoder (for operating the gearmotor via frequency inverter)
- With explosion-proof three-phase motors (ATEX)
- Temperature sensor
- Only solid shaft possible
- Aseptic gear motors (keyword: Hygiene)
Helical geared motors alternatives
- Flat geared motor (Also possible with hollow shaft!)
- Planetary gearmotor (Precise)
- Servo gearmotors ⇒ Servo flat geared motor (more compact dimensions, lower weight and higher dynamics)
Use with Frequency converter
Naturally, the speed of helical geared motors can be controlled by means of a frequency converter, just like other types of geared motors. When reducing the speed, however, the helical geared motor should be protected against overheating by means of a PTC thermistor, reduced current or other measures.
SEW, but now also all other manufacturers, also offer frequency inverters that are directly connected to the housing of the helical geared motor. We would be pleased to supply you with the frequency inverter that matches your helical geared motor. We would be happy to advise you. More about this: frequency inverters
Increase efficiency, retrofit now!
Conversion to energy-saving gearmotors usually pays for itself within 2 years at the latest.
Here we present the frequently requested helical gearmotors from SEW. However, we would also be happy to help you convert to helical gearmotors from other manufacturers, e.g: SIMOGEAR helical gear units
