AutomationDirect adds Helical Bevel Gearboxes with Cast-Iron Frames

November 14, 2019

The new IronHorse HBR series of helical bevel gearboxes combines the helical gearset with a bevel gearset to create an output that is perpendicular to the input. All HBR series gearboxes are hollow shaft output and accept double or single shafts. Dual and single output shaft kits are available. Helical gears offer a smoother, quieter operation than most other gear types.

The universally interchangeable compact design ensures easy OEM replacement and provides flexible installation with C-face and TC-face inputs, perpendicular output and 6 mounting positions. Five gearbox sizes support 56C up to 254/6TC NEMA motor frames and 6 ratios are available from 10:1 to 120:1. The helical bevel gearboxes are sized to handle from 1 to 24 hp motors.

The bevel gearboxes feature cast-iron (FCD45) one-piece housings and high hardness alloy steel (20CrMO) pinion and gears. Ironhorse helical bevel gearboxes from AutomationDirect start at $1070.00 and have a 2-year warranty.
