Product Description
I-MAK AE Series Gear Units
The I-MAK AE Series Gear Units are heavy-duty industrial gearboxes designed for harsh environments and demanding operating cycles. Moreover, their robust construction supports reliable power transmission during long and continuous industrial duties.
The range accepts motor powers from 0.37 to 160 kW. In addition, available configurations provide output speeds from approximately 10 to 220 rpm.
Selected models deliver maximum output torque up to 33,000 Nm. Therefore, the AE Series suits conveyors, mixers, material-handling systems and heavy production machinery.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction
The AE Series uses a resistant housing to support the gears, shafts and bearings under demanding loads. Consequently, the gearbox can maintain reliable alignment during long operating periods.
Moreover, the housing protects internal components from normal industrial contamination and mechanical exposure. As a result, the range suits factories and processing facilities with challenging operating conditions.
However, users should still select appropriate seals, lubricant and surface protection for dusty, humid, corrosive or outdoor installations.

Available AE Models
The official AE Series table includes:
- 2AE 225: Up to 2,040 Nm; 35 mm shaft
- 2AE 275: Up to 4,107 Nm; 40 mm shaft
- 2AE / 3AE 351: Up to 8,000 Nm; 60 mm shaft
- 2AE / 3AE 430: Up to 17,000 Nm; 70 mm shaft
- 2AE / 3AE 501: Up to 27,000 Nm; 90 mm shaft
- 3AE / 4AE 750: Up to 33,000 Nm; 115 mm shaft
Therefore, smaller models suit moderate industrial loads. In contrast, larger AE configurations support heavy conveyors, mixers and processing equipment.
However, maximum torque depends on the selected ratio, input speed, service factor and operating cycle. Consequently, engineers should complete a proper drive calculation before final selection.
Multiple Gear Stages
The AE Series includes two-stage, three-stage and four-stage configurations.
A two-stage unit provides moderate speed reduction. Therefore, it suits machinery that requires a comparatively higher output speed.
Meanwhile, additional stages provide higher total reduction. As a result, three-stage and four-stage models can deliver lower output speeds and greater torque.
Moreover, multiple ratio options allow engineers to match the gearbox output with the driven machine. Consequently, the system may not require additional external reduction equipment.
Quiet and Low-Vibration Operation
I-MAK designs the gears to reduce noise and vibration during long and demanding operation. Therefore, the gearbox suits continuous production areas where smoother drive performance is important.
Moreover, controlled gear engagement helps reduce sudden loading between gear teeth. As a result, the drive can operate more smoothly when correctly selected and installed.
However, no industrial gearbox is completely noise-free. Therefore, correct alignment, stable mounting and proper lubrication remain essential for quiet operation.
High Torque and Service Factor
Heavy industrial machinery may experience shock loads, frequent starts and changing operating conditions. Consequently, gearbox selection must consider more than nominal motor power.
The AE Series provides strong torque and service-factor capabilities. Therefore, suitable configurations can support demanding production cycles and heavy driven loads.
Nevertheless, the required service factor depends on operating hours, starting frequency, load variation and equipment type. As a result, users should provide complete application details during selection.
Low-Maintenance Operation
The AE Series is designed for long operating life. Moreover, its durable housing and gear construction can reduce unplanned maintenance when users operate the unit within its rated limits.
However, low maintenance does not mean maintenance-free. Therefore, maintenance teams should regularly inspect:
- Lubricant condition and level
- Gearbox seals
- Mounting bolts
- Shaft alignment
- Couplings
- Operating temperature
- Abnormal noise or vibration
Consequently, planned inspections can identify developing problems before they cause costly downtime.
AE Series Applications in the UAE
The I-MAK AE Series may suit:
- Heavy conveyor systems
- Industrial mixers and agitators
- Mining and quarry machinery
- Cement and aggregate plants
- Steel-processing equipment
- Manufacturing lines
- Bulk-material handling
- Crushers and feeders
- Water-treatment machinery
- Power-generation equipment
- Loading and unloading systems
- General heavy industrial drives
For example, a conveyor can use an AE gearbox to reduce motor speed while increasing output torque. Similarly, a heavy mixer can use a multistage model for controlled and reliable agitation.
Selecting the Correct AE Gear Unit
Correct selection depends on:
- Required output torque
- Required output speed
- Motor power and speed
- Operating hours
- Starting frequency
- Shock loads
- Mounting arrangement
- Shaft dimensions
- Ambient conditions
- Required service factor
Therefore, users should select the gearbox according to the complete application duty. Otherwise, the unit may operate beyond its recommended mechanical capacity.
Why Choose I-MAK AE Series Gear Units?
The AE Series combines heavy-duty construction with high torque and broad speed options. Moreover, its gear design supports smoother and quieter operation.
Therefore, it is a strong choice for UAE facilities that require dependable power transmission, long operating life and resistance to demanding industrial conditions.
