Your benefits

More energy efficiency
due to the high efficiency degree in both directions of torque and at any input speed.

More cost efficiency
over the entire service life due to wear-free gearing and a long, maintenance-free operating life.

High performance
in a compact design, available in 12 sizes with torque ratings from 200 Nm to 50,000 Nm.

Explosion-proof helical-worm gear units Explosion-proof SPIROPLAN® right-angle gear units

Save energy the easy way: even in potentially explosive atmospheres

You want a drive solution that can be installed in a small space? One that provides reliable motion in potentially explosive atmospheres?

Then we recommend our explosion-proof helical-bevel gear units in equipment categorie II2GD. These right-angle gear units have torques from 200 Nm to 50,000 Nm and feature a particularly compact design.

With their high efficiency in both directions of torque and at any input speed, they are also very energy-efficient. Their high-endurance gearing is wear-free and lasts a gear unit’s lifetime. For precise positioning tasks, you can use the K series explosion-proof gear units with reduced backlash.

A long, maintenance-free service life enhances this economy and efficiency. That’s why the K series is used in so many applications in potentially explosive atmospheres. Worldwide!

Only half the solution without a motor? Then use our sophisticated modular concept and combine the explosion-proof gear units of the K series with the explosion-proof motor of your choice.
