shaft mount reducer

Shaft mount reducers are enclosed helical gear reducers with a hollow result. They are mounted directly on the input shaft of the driven machine and are backed by the shaft and torque arm arrangement or motor mount body. This eliminates the necessity for additional components to transmit torque from the reducer to the equipment. The parts of a shaft mount reducer include:

• rotating bushing ring
• TorqTaper® bushing
• torque arm bracket
• torque arm rod and turnbuckle
• foot bracket
• input or high acceleration shaft
• an optional backstop

The Browning® shaft mount reducer, generally known as the Browning SMTP, is a cost-effective approach to traveling machinery. The shaft install design eliminates the need for support structures that are required in conventional foot mounted reducer assemblies. It also eliminates the necessity for chain, sprockets, couplings and bedplates. In addition, the design minimizes alignment problems.

The compact design of the shaft mounted reducer helps save space. In addition, it allows the unit to be installed at 360 degrees around the shaft and at the end of the conveyor. Additionally, the reducer is very efficient at approximately 98.5% efficiency per reduction stage. Standard industries for the Browning SMTP are aggregate, baggage managing, grain and wastewater treatment.
