What are the advantages of Helical Gearmotors?

FLK Drive offers a wide range of helical gearmotors that are designed to be easy maintenance and provide long service life in the demanding industrial applications nowadays.  Our helical Gearmotors series are available in a wide variety of sizes/ratios and are designed to be easily interchanged with many European style gearmotors. Currently we offer 4 kinds of helical gearmotors that are available in a variety of sizes and ratios , they are FLK R series inline helical geared motor, K series helical bevel geared motor, F series parallel shaft helical geared motor and S series helical worm geared motor.

helical gearmotors

Each Gearmotor is designed to be easily interchanged with many European-style gearmotors while offering unmatched reliability. These units come standard with features such as Anti-friction bearings for optimum load capacity and long life, high strength cast iron housings, and both a high cross-section modulus design and rugged monobloc design for maximum rigidity.

The advantages of Helical Gearmotors:

  • The angled teeth work more gradually, allowing for smoother and more silent gear operation when compared to spur gears or toothed wheels.
  • Helical gears last longer and are ideal for high-load applications, since they have a higher amount of teeth in contact.
  • Load is at all times distributed among several axes, which produces less wear.
  • They can transfer motion and power both among parallel and straight-angle axes.

K series helical bevel gearmotor:

K-Series-Helical-Bevel-Gear-Motor

Each helical bevel gearmotor is designed for wear-free operation, allowing for a long service life. These gearmotors feature gear efficiencies of more than 90% in both directions of rotation within the system. As with other FLK Gearbox Company products, these gearmotors are also very compact and they boast a high power density, to better meet the needs of your machinery. These products are also resilient enough to be operated in a wide range of ambient temperatures and are designed to work in many mechanical applications, while operating at high levels of efficiency.

Power ratings from 0.05 to 615 HP
Ratios from 3.98:1 to 24,353:1
Output torques to 442,500 lb-in

Typical applications: Conveyors, material handling, steel mills, paper mills.

F Series parallel shaft helical gearmotor:

F series parallel shaft helical geared motor

FLK F series Parallel shaft gearmotors are designed for use in a variety of mechanical systems such as industrial conveyors, material handlers, steel mills, and more. Each unit is designed to be slim and compact to ensure the best fit in many critical spaces that demand precision positioning and quality.

Power ratings from 0.05 to 336 HP
Ratios from 3.77 to 29,211
Output torques to 159,300 lb-in

Typical applications: Conveyors, material handling, steel mills, paper mills.

S Series helical worm gearmotor

SF67 SF77 worm helical gearmotor SEW standard

FLK S series helical worm gearmotors utilize an helical/helical-worm combination, making these units more efficient than normal helical-worm gear units. Due to their outstanding efficiency, these drives can be used in every industrial sector and tailored to individual torque and speed requirements. The reduction ratios afforded by the helical-worm gear stage and the low noise levels during operation make these gearmotors ideal low-cost solutions for simple applications.

Power ratings from 0.05 to 46 HP
Ratios from 3.97 to 33,818
Output torques to 35,400 lb-in

Typical applications: Drives in theater applications, adjustment drives, presses, rotary tables, and corner transfer units.
