UNIVERSAL MOUNT HOUSING CONSTRUCTION FOR RIGHT ANGLE GEARBOXES AND GEARMOTORS

摘要

PURPOSE: A structure provides that versatile housing construction for right angle gearboxes and gear motors that allows a wide variety of mounting and torque support configurations while minimizing mounting space required. CONSTITUTION: The housing allows for a wide variety of mounting and torque support configurations and includes a cubic-shaped cast housing body (20) having an input opening in a first side for receiving a rotational power input (1), and an output opening (9) in at least one second side for transmitting a rotational power output (2). Four plate-shaped housing extensions (5a, 5b) are integrated into the cast housing member and provide two pairs of integrated torque arms. Each of the housing extensions has a machined planar surface oriented perpendicular to the central axis (Ro) of the output opening and coextensive with a raised, machined surface (7) extending around the output opening. A through-bore (6) extends through each of the housing extensions. The raised surface has tapped holes (8) spaced about its circumference for flange mounting. A plurality of raised feet (3a, 3b, 3c) with tapped holes (4) are formed on three sides of the cast housing body for versatile attachment to a driven machine.
