Original Press Release:
Series M Helical Inline Gearmotors and Reducers
Cone Drive has upgraded its Series M range of helical inline gearmotors and reducers to provide what it claims is the industry's most versatile, cost effective and user-friendly drive solutions.
The range is designed to provide an extremely efficient and compact drive solution for a wide variety of users including original equipment manufacturers and handling & conveyor manufacturers, as well as a variety of industries including building and aggregates, energy, pulp and paper, water treatment, and oil & gas. The Series M gearmotors can meet most requirements up to 120 HP or 90 kW with maximum output torque capacity of 97,350 lb-in (11,000 Nm). 12 unit sizes give a ratio coverage of 1.2:1 to 12,000:1 in single, double, triple and combined reduction formats, and innovative modular construction maximizes product availability.
The key element in the class-leading versatility of the new Series M units is the unique Cone Drive motor connection, which offers the option of fitting any standard electric motor. The patented motor adapter system means the range accepts all sizes of standard NEMA and IEC flange mounted electric motors without the need for expensive modifications or interface connectors. This flexibility means that the original motor and any replacements may be sourced at very competitive prices from a wide range of suppliers or distributors, reducing downtime and cost at plant level.
Customers can also fit standard motors in all types (AC, DC, single phase, energy efficient, washdown, explosion proof, etc.) without incurring the high costs traditionally associated with gearboxes designed to accept special motor flange and shaft interfaces. All units are size for size dimensionally interchangeable with other major manufacturers.
Innovative modular construction of the Series M gearmotors is designed to maximize product availability for customers while at the same time reducing manufacturing and repair costs. The introduction of a revolutionary modular kit design for the Series M means sub-assemblies are produced, packed and stored individually and as orders are received the kits required to meet customer's gear unit specification are taken from stock and assembled in a short time for shipment.
A small number of kits is required for use throughout the family of products, reducing inventory costs and optimizing availability. This modular kit system offers advantages to distributors and stockists by reducing their inventory and maximizing availability for end users.
It has been proven that a 90% reduction in inventory spares cost can be achieved by stocking Series M in kit form, allowing instant replacement and reducing expensive down time to a minimum.
The Series M units also offer the ability to fit double oil seals on the input or output shaft as required, and smaller sizes are factory lubricated for life and maintenance free.
