Product Description
I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units are special-purpose industrial gearboxes developed for machinery that cannot use a conventional standard gearbox. Moreover, I-MAK offers these units for different applications, sectors and customised drive arrangements.
Unlike a single uniform product family, the range contains several gearbox designs with different shafts, torque capacities and output arrangements. Therefore, users should select each unit according to the exact machine layout and operating duty.
The official product table lists selected AD configurations with maximum output torque up to 8,000 Nm. In addition, ADS and IRAEM options cover specialised dual-shaft, multi-shaft and application-specific requirements.
Special Gear Units for Custom Machinery
Many production machines require non-standard shaft positions or output speeds. Consequently, a regular inline or right-angle gearbox may not fit the equipment.
The AD, ADS and IRAEM units address these specialised requirements. For example, the gearbox can use custom shaft dimensions, different shaft materials or coupling connections.
Moreover, I-MAK can adapt internal components and surface protection. As a result, the gearbox can match demanding production environments and installation restrictions.
Key Benefits of the AD / ADS / IRAEM Series
- Special-purpose industrial gearbox construction
- Selected output torque up to 8,000 Nm
- Multiple output-shaft arrangements
- Custom shaft dimensions
- Special shaft materials
- Hardened-shaft options
- Threaded and multi-key shafts
- Coupling connections
- Reinforced input or output bearings
- Custom gear-ratio options
- Special housing materials and machining
- Food-compatible lubricant options
- Low-temperature lubricant options
- Viton and special seal options
- Epoxy and anti-corrosion coating options
Together, these features provide significant engineering flexibility. Moreover, they allow machine builders to adapt the gearbox to the actual process rather than redesigning equipment around a standard unit.
Published Model Information
The official I-MAK product table lists the following principal models:
- AD 180: Maximum torque 300 Nm; 30 mm shaft
- AD 230: Maximum torque 8,000 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- AD 250: Maximum torque 8,000 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- ADS 230: Maximum torque 4,820 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- IRAEM range: Published torque range from approximately 90 to 1,800 Nm
- IRAEM shaft range: Approximately 20 to 120 mm
In addition, the official table lists output-speed relationships of 1.0 or 1.486 between the shafts of selected ADS 185 and ADS 230 configurations.
However, the available models do not share one common ratio or power range. Therefore, users should obtain a project-specific technical selection for each application.
AD Series Gear Units
The AD Series includes special gearbox configurations with different torque ratings and shaft sizes.
For example, the AD 180 is a compact model for lower torque requirements. Meanwhile, the AD 230 and AD 250 provide substantially higher torque capacity.
Therefore, the AD Series can serve different machinery sizes. However, users must confirm the exact gear arrangement, input speed and output configuration before ordering.
ADS Series Gear Units
The ADS Series supports machinery that requires more than one output shaft or a controlled speed difference between shafts.
Consequently, it can suit metal-forming and roll-form production equipment where upper and lower rollers may operate at different speeds.
Moreover, I-MAK’s roll-form catalogue describes synchronised gearbox layouts that can place several units along one line. As a result, one or two motors may drive a complete group of gearbox stations.
IRAEM Series Gear Units
The IRAEM range provides additional special-drive options across a broad shaft range.
Therefore, it may suit custom machinery where standard gearbox shaft dimensions or output arrangements are unsuitable.
However, the exact IRAEM configuration depends on the machine design. Consequently, users should provide complete dimensional drawings, operating loads and required shaft positions during selection.
Custom Shaft and Coupling Options
Available output-shaft options include:
- Special shaft dimensions
- Alternative shaft materials
- Hardened shafts
- Threaded shafts
- Multiple-key arrangements
- Coupling connections
Similarly, input shafts can use custom dimensions, materials, hardening and coupling arrangements.
Therefore, the gearbox can connect more effectively with specialised production machinery. Moreover, customised shaft geometry may reduce the need for external adaptors.
Component and Environmental Options
I-MAK lists several custom component options, including:
- Reinforced bearings
- Special bearing brands and dimensions
- Special seals
- Viton seals
- Synthetic lubricant
- Food-compatible lubricant
- Lubricant for temperatures down to approximately -40°C
- Special housing materials
- Epoxy paint
- Outdoor acrylic paint
- Anti-corrosion coating
As a result, users can configure the gearbox for harsh, outdoor, corrosive or hygienic operating conditions. However, the selected materials must match the actual environment and process.
Applications in the UAE
The AD / ADS / IRAEM Series may suit:
- Roll-form production lines
- Sheet-metal forming machinery
- Cable-tray production
- Pipe and profile manufacturing
- Automotive component production
- Conveyors and material handling
- Mixers and agitators
- Metal-processing machinery
- Special automation equipment
- Heavy manufacturing systems
- Custom production lines
- Industrial machinery upgrades
For example, an ADS gearbox can drive two forming rolls at controlled relative speeds. Similarly, an AD or IRAEM unit can provide a customised shaft arrangement for specialised machinery.
Selecting the Correct Gear Unit
Correct selection depends on:
- Required output torque
- Input and output speeds
- Number of input and output shafts
- Required shaft spacing
- Shaft diameter and material
- Load characteristics
- Operating hours
- Mounting arrangement
- Ambient conditions
- Lubricant and coating requirements
Therefore, users should provide technical drawings and complete operating data. Otherwise, a standard model may not meet the machine’s alignment, load or speed requirements.
Why Choose AD / ADS / IRAEM Gear Units?
These units provide greater design flexibility than a conventional standard gearbox. Moreover, I-MAK offers extensive shaft, bearing, seal, lubricant and coating variations.
Therefore, the range is a practical choice for UAE manufacturers that require customised power transmission, robust construction and dependable long-term operation.
