Gearboxes For AC Motors Available Here

ACDC Drives can supply a complete range of gearmotors, gearboxes, speed variators and all associated parts for your automation applications. 

With such a huge range, and so many options available we know it can be difficult to find the exact gearbox sometimes. That's why we have spent a lot of time listing these individually. Use the filters to select the main attributes required for your application, and we are sure you will find what you are looking for.

If you cannot see what you are looking for, don't worry, we can help. Just drop us an email or give us a call on 01905 887 667 and we will send a bespoke quote. We offer ranges to suit all budgets, whether it be for a one-off or bulk buy, we can cater for it.

All of our Universal Motor Gearboxes are built in Italy by Hydro Mec and offer fantastic quality and precision.

What is a 'Motor Gearbox'?

The term 'Geared motor' or 'Motor Gearbox' refers to a combination of a motor plus a reduction gear train. These are often conveniently packaged together in one unit. The gear reduction (gear train) reduces the speed of the motor, with a corresponding increase in torque. Gear ratios range from just a few (e.g. 3) to huge (e.g. 500). A small ratio can be accomplished with a single gear pair, while a large ratio requires a series of gear reduction steps and thus more gears. There are a lot of different kinds of gear reduction, some of which we have described a little below.

Most standard motors are only available in set speeds, these limit the functionality of the motor in certain applications, it also means that the output torque is 'set'. If you require larger amounts of torque but do not have space for a larger motor, a motor-gearbox unit can be used.

AC Motor Gearboxes also allow for far lower rpm to be achieved, for example, one of our 84Q Boxes can be specced to run at 0.5rpm providing an output torque of some 584Nm all from a tiny 0.12kW Motor, impressive I'm sure you would agree!

If you would like even better control or a range of speed but with the additional torque, you may also like to add an Inverter to the mix. This will give you full control of the application and almost limitless options with regards output speeds and torque requirements.
