SEW-Eurodrive P072 and P082 planetary gear units

SEW-Eurodrive Australia has added two sizes to its P-Series of standard gear products: P072 and P082. With these two additions, the P-Series now covers rated torques up to 500 kNm. The planetary gear units can be used in all applications where low speeds and high torques are required.

The P-Series of industrial planetary gear units is now available in 11 sizes and covers the torque range from 24 to 500 kNm. The gear units are designed so that the gearmotor is directly mounted in front of the planetary gear unit. This eliminates the need for couplings, intermediate flanges and adapter flanges, saving space and cost.

Several different designs enable the gear units to be optimised for the user’s application. SEW’s gearmotors offer a wide variety at the input. This results in precise gear unit ratio grades. It is possible to combine the designs with the planetary gear unit in helical or bevel-helical gear versions. The P-Series is designed to be particularly short and compact. The gears feature high torsional rigidity and can transmit high torques.

The industrial planetary gearmotors can be used in all applications where heavy objects are moved at low speed including: plate conveyor drives in conveyor systems, silo discharge systems for mixers and agitators, remote drives for wood pulp presses in the pulp and paper industry, and bucket wheel drives for mining.
