Like all gearboxes and gearmotors, the parallel shaft units are fundamental assets for the most diverse applications in the mechanical industry. Compact in size yet powerful, they work to convey the motion of a motor to the machine on which they are fitted, reducing the speed and adapting it to specific functional requirements.
The great flexibility and versatility of use makes parallel shaft gearboxes and gearmotors ideal for applications in various industries, and virtually wherever movement is needed. Typical examples include intralogistics and constructions.
All details of the components are carefully sized to allow either horizontal or vertical positioning. The compact footprint makes the units perfect for construction applications in small housings that are in very high demand in today's industrial processes.
However, it is important to note that a smaller footprint does not mean less power. On the contrary, parallel shaft gearboxes and gearmotors are strong, dynamic, and very reliable mechanical transmissions that can be an excellent investment for companies because of their inherent ability to make operations more efficient and their very simple maintenance requirements.
