Leeson Offers a Lightweight Alternative to Cast Iron Reducers
Grafton, WI - LEESON offers a lightweight alternative to both cast iron worm and coaxial (inline) helical gear reducers.
Although there are pros and cons to cast iron and aluminum, one application might strongly lean toward cast iron where another may require only aluminum construction. The LEESON designed aluminum gear reducers have some very distinctive advantages including: lightweight and compact construction, lower purchase and shipping costs and extreme mounting flexibility. In addition, the paint-free exterior of LEESON aluminum reducers makes them a perfect solution in many applications, including washdown, food and chemical processing and pharmaceutical.
