Configurations

Three gearhead families.

Parallel shaft (GN)

Inline gearhead with output shaft parallel to motor shaft. Frame sizes 2GN / 3GN / 4GN / 5GN / 6GN matched to 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 104 mm motors. Compact in-line footprint.

Right angle (GU)

90-degree spiral-bevel / hypoid gearhead. Frame sizes 5GU / 6GU / 7GU. Solid output (RT), hollow output (RC), or L-type hollow-shaft (LC).

L-type (GNL / GUL)

Hollow-shaft variant for direct shaft-mount applications. 89% gearhead efficiency. Combines with 750 W frames to reach output torque up to 200 N·m.

Key Features

Engineering details.

Bidirectional output

Output torque is consistent in either direction, matching the motor command without backlash penalty.

Ball-bearing supported

K = ball bearing on GN units; KB = ball bearing on GU units. Long mechanical service life under industrial loading.

High overhung load

Up to 1500 N permissible overhung load (6GU at 20 mm from shaft end); thrust load up to 300 N.

Wide ratio span

3:1 to 200:1 in standard ratios. Multiple ratios available within a single frame size for application flexibility.

Efficient gearing

81% efficiency at low ratios (3–9), 73% at mid ratios (12.5–18), 66% at higher ratios. L-type variants reach 89%.

Mounting brackets

Square flange face matched to motor frame (60–120 mm). Dedicated aluminum mounting brackets available for 80 mm and 90 mm frames.

Applications

Where Z_BLD gearmotors fit.

Applications requiring controlled low-speed, high-torque output from a compact maintenance-free package. The 24 VDC variants are particularly well suited to AGV and battery-powered mobile equipment; the AC-input variants serve fixed industrial automation.
