Geared motors for conveyor systems have to be very flexible. The gear and motor components of the S range of Motox worm geared motors are therefore available in a versatile modular system. A design with dimensions to suit the market can be used for all mounting positions, which greatly simplifies commissioning. Installation on the machine can take shaft-mounted, foot-mounted or flange-mounted form. The input shaft is available either solid or hollow. The use of high-grade materials, such as a substantial nickel proportion in the bronze worm gears, allows high rated gear torques up to 80 Nm and high transmission ratios of up to 100 in a single stage. The worm shafts are also case-hardened and ground, which makes running quieter. A strong radial force is achieved by high-grade roller bearings and greater distances between bearings. The tooth root security of the Cavex concave-profile teeth allows high load peaks. The gears are maintenance-free due to lubrication-for-life with synthetic oil, as well as high-grade bearings and seals. The high efficiency and heat dissipation in the gear housing lead to a favorable heat balance and low surface temperature. The new S range can be easily incorporated in a system via Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), the open system architecture from Siemens.
