Easily optimized – extremely versatile

SEW-EURODRIVE covers virtually every application in a wide variety of industries with the special agitator design used in three highly successful standard gear unit series. The RM.. series of helical gear units from SEW‑EURODRIVE has long been available as an option for mixer and agitator applications.

NEW to the portfolio are the FM../FAM.. series of parallel-shaft helical gear units and the KM../KAM.. series of helical-bevel gear units – the two types of gear unit often used for such applications. On the one hand, these variants enable better use to be made of the available space, while on the other, agitator shafts with a mixing element can be inserted directly into the hollow gear unit shafts in the portfolio. Additional bearings can be dispensed with in many cases.

The permissible overhung loads range from 25 000 N to 176 500 N and the motors corresponding with the relevant sizes vary in power from 0.12 kW to 200 kW. The maximum permitted gear unit output torque ranges from 820 Nm to 20 000 Nm.

More information about gearmotors in agitator designs can be found here.

The following options are available for the agitator design:

• Double oil seal on the output side for additional protection against leaks
• Reinforced bearings, also opposite the output side, to increase the permitted overhung load, particularly in the case of high output speeds and low gear ratios
• Grease nipple for relubrication of output shaft bearings
• Drywell design with leak sensor to prevent the product from being contaminated by leaking lubricant

Compatible motors

It goes without saying that SEW‑EURODRIVE also offers motors in energy efficiency classes IE1 to IE3 that are compatible with these gear unit designs.
