SEW-Eurodrive KES37 and RES37 stainless steel gear units

The KES37 and RES37 stainless steel gear units feature casings and shafts made from stainless steel, inherently suitable for aseptic applications where caustic/high-pressure washdowns are required or where there is potential for product contamination.

The units are rated up to 3 kW and 200 Nm, and are available with a range of directly mounted stainless steel motors up to 0.75 kW; alternatively, a third-party motor can be fitted via available stainless steel IEC adapters.

All external components are fabricated from stainless steel, which overcomes contamination problems from paint flakes normally associated with units with painted surfaces, and also avoids corrosion. Cleaning is further assisted by the smooth design of the casing, which prevents a build-up of contaminants. The lack of horizontal surfaces in the design also permits better drainage and facilitates washdown.

The right-angle helical bevel KES37 is available in various configuration options and user-specific requirements, including hollow shaft, shrink disk, TorqLOC and flange-mounted design. The inline helical RES37 is available in a B5 flange-mounted design.
