Helical Inline

GU-H107 Helical Inline Gear Unit

The large inline frame, with thick machined foot pads and a bearing arrangement rated for direct pulley loads. Where an inline drive still has to take a belt pull, this is where the range ends.

All gear units

The large inline frame, with thick machined foot pads and a bearing arrangement rated for direct pulley loads. Where an inline drive still has to take a belt pull, this is where the range ends.

How this frame is rated

The GU-H107 carries 1,550 Nm of rated output torque, calculated on tooth flank and root capacity to international gear rating standards at a service factor of 1.0. Ratios run from i 5.21 to i 245.1, which at 1450 rpm input puts the output shaft between 5.9 and 278.3 rpm. Motors from 1.1 to 22 kW bolt to the input.

With the largest listed motor the frame reaches its mechanical torque limit at about i 11.1. Below that ratio the motor governs and output torque still climbs with the reduction; above it the frame governs, and extra ratio buys you speed reduction only. That is the knee you can see on the characteristic chart further down this page.

What usually decides the selection

Thermal capacity is 26.8 kW of continuous throughput without auxiliary cooling at 20 °C ambient. Permissible radial force at the shaft mid-point is 17,600 N; move the load towards the shaft end and that figure falls quickly, so tell us where the pulley actually sits. Housing is Grey cast iron, protection IP66, and the unit weighs 168 kg dry.

Build detail

  • Machined foot pads flat to 0.1 mm over the full bolt pattern
  • Oil level and drain accessible without lifting the unit
  • Optional fan cowl lifts the thermal limit by roughly 35 %
  • Shrink-disc or keyed solid shaft, interchangeable in the field

Typical duty

  • Heavy belt conveyors
  • Mixer and kneader drives
  • Winding and unwinding stands
  • Timber and panel lines
