Varvel announces the implementation of modular worm gearboxes, Series RT.
The gearboxes are made of pressure die-cast aluminium housings and covers from size 28 to 85 and cast iron for size 110 up and are lubricated with synthetic long-life oil.
The major features of the new series RT are the “universal” B3 foot mounting, the easy fitting/replacement of input flanges B5 or B14, output flanges on both sides of the PC shaftmount basic version.
Furthermore the usual key-coupling between motor and gearbox was replaced by a customized elastic coupling type “G” without any increase in the geared motor dimensions allowing the motor shaft matching to an external coupling kit and not to a prearranged gearbox.
Such features make the new Series RT particularly fit for distribution, that is more and more concerned about versatility, inventory control and configuration flexibility.
