Viking Pump Introduces New Series of In-Line Gear Reducers
Viking Pump has expanded its gear reducer product line to include a new series of in-line gear reducers compatible with any positive displacement pump or other equipment needing speed reduction. The new gear reducers have the input and output shaft on the same centerline for easy alignment and maximum space savings.
All gear reducers in the new series offer double reduction, high efficiency and low noise levels. The gear reducers are available in ten different sizes, with ratios varying from 2.6:1 to 35.1:1. Available horsepower ranges from 0.5 to 350 hp (0.37 to 261 kW), while output speeds range from 50 to 673 rpm (with 1,750 rpm input).
The gear reducers offer universal mounting with either a solid input shaft, or a hollow input shaft combined with a NEMA C or IEC flange to close-couple to the motor. The direct mounting eliminates alignment problems as well as the need for a coupling set and a coupling guard between the motor and the reducer. Gears are hardened or case-hardened steel, and input/output shafts are high strength steel.
In addition to the new series of in-line gear reducers, Viking has offered parallel shaft single-reduction gear reducers for more than 40 years. These gear reducers feature an adjustable input shaft height to match up to a variety of drives. Viking will continue to offer these gear reducers along with the new in-line models.
