Motor gear units

Featuring an extended bearing distance, the EBD MC Compact series of helical and helical-bevel gear units has been engineered to absorb the high bending moments and axial forces that occur in mixer and agitator applications.

Traditional solutions depend on separate bearings for the agitator shaft in order to absorb axial and radial forces that occur during the agitation process. The EBD MC gear unit assemblies eliminate the need for separate bearings by incorporating an additional bearing housing onto the existing standard bearing housing. This increases the distance between the upper and lower bearings by approximately 50%, adding significant rigidity to the mixer shaft and minimising the axial and radial loads transferred to the gears and bearings.

Because of the potential contamination of the agitated medium by bearing lubricants, a ‘drywell’ sealing system can be incorporated to prevent oil leakage at the output shaft in vertical mounting positions.

The product series is available in various mounting arrangements and configuration options and offered in five sizes, with torque ratings of 16 to 48 kNm, suitable for motor powers of up to 250 kW.
