Product Description
I-MAK S Series Gear Units
The I-MAK S Series Gear Units are compact aluminium-housing worm gearboxes for industrial power-transmission applications. Moreover, their modular construction combines useful output torque with efficient use of installation space.
I-MAK describes the range as available in six different stages. Meanwhile, the current catalogue lists sizes from S30 to S150 for different torque and shaft requirements.
The range supports reduction ratios from 7.5:1 to 100:1. In addition, suitable configurations accept motor powers from 0.12 to 15 kW and deliver maximum torque up to 1,500 Nm.
Compact Aluminium Worm-Gear Design
The aluminium housing reduces gearbox weight while maintaining a rigid structure for industrial operation. Therefore, the S Series suits machinery where available installation space and overall equipment weight are important.
A worm and wheel gear arrangement reduces input speed and increases output torque. Consequently, a standard electric motor can drive slower industrial equipment without an additional transmission system.
Moreover, the compact right-angle arrangement allows the motor and output shaft to operate on different axes. As a result, machine designers can create shorter and more practical drive layouts.
Key Benefits of the S Series
- Compact aluminium gearbox housing
- Worm-gear speed-reduction technology
- Reduction ratios from 7.5:1 to 100:1
- Motor powers from 0.12 to 15 kW
- Maximum torque up to 1,500 Nm
- Output shaft diameters from approximately 14 to 50 mm
- Low-noise operation
- Low-vibration performance
- Multiple mounting positions
- Foot and flange mounting options
- Gearbox-only configurations
- IEC motor-adaptor configurations
- Complete geared-motor options
- Synthetic lubricant supplied as standard
- Wide range of combinations and accessories
Together, these features provide a flexible drive solution for many industrial machines. Moreover, the broad size range allows users to match torque, ratio and shaft dimensions with the equipment duty.
Available S Series Sizes
The current catalogue includes:
- S30: Maximum torque up to 21 Nm
- S40: Maximum torque up to 42 Nm
- S50: Maximum torque up to 71 Nm
- S63: Maximum torque up to 145 Nm
- S75: Maximum torque up to 221 Nm
- S90: Maximum torque up to 400 Nm
- S110: Maximum torque up to 700 Nm
- S130: Maximum torque up to 1,000 Nm
- S150: Maximum torque up to 1,500 Nm
Therefore, smaller units suit light machinery and auxiliary drives. In contrast, larger configurations support heavier conveyors, mixers and production equipment.
However, maximum torque depends on the selected ratio, motor power, service factor and operating conditions. Consequently, users should complete a proper gearbox calculation before final selection.
Flexible Input Configurations
I-MAK offers three principal input arrangements:
- Worm gear unit without motor
- Worm gear unit with IEC motor adaptor
- Complete worm geared motor
Therefore, users can purchase a complete motor-and-gearbox package or connect a suitable IEC motor separately.
Moreover, the IEC adaptor option can simplify future motor replacement. As a result, maintenance teams may replace the motor without changing the complete gearbox.
Foot and Flange Mounting
The S Series supports both foot-mounted and flange-mounted arrangements.
Foot-Mounted Configuration
A foot-mounted gearbox attaches to a base frame or machine structure. Therefore, it suits conveyors, feeders and general industrial equipment.
Flange-Mounted Configuration
Alternatively, a flange-mounted unit attaches directly to the driven machine. Consequently, this arrangement can reduce the need for a separate support structure.
Multiple mounting positions are available. However, users should specify the exact position before ordering because lubrication requirements can depend on the installation orientation.
Low-Noise and Low-Vibration Operation
I-MAK lists low noise and low vibration among the principal S Series advantages. Therefore, the gearbox suits production environments where smoother operation is important.
Moreover, correct alignment and mounting help prevent unnecessary vibration. Consequently, installers should support the driven shaft correctly and avoid excessive external loads.
Lubrication and Maintenance
The S Series is supplied with synthetic lubricant according to the gearbox size and mounting position. Therefore, the unit can arrive prepared for normal installation and operation.
However, users should still follow the manufacturer’s inspection and lubricant-replacement guidance. In addition, maintenance teams should check for leakage, unusual noise, overheating and mounting-bolt movement.
As a result, routine inspection can help protect the gears, bearings and seals during long-term service.
I-MAK S Series Applications in the UAE
The S Series may suit:
- Conveyor systems
- Packaging machinery
- Food-processing equipment
- Industrial mixers
- Small agitators
- Material-handling equipment
- Dosing and feeding machinery
- Textile equipment
- Automated production lines
- Door and gate mechanisms
- Water-treatment equipment
- General manufacturing machinery
For example, a conveyor can use an S Series gearbox to reduce motor speed. Similarly, a mixer can use a higher-ratio model to provide slower output and increased torque.
Selecting the Correct S Series Gearbox
Correct selection depends on:
- Motor power and speed
- Required output speed
- Required output torque
- Reduction ratio
- Daily operating hours
- Starting frequency
- Shock loading
- Mounting position
- Shaft arrangement
- Ambient conditions
Therefore, users should calculate the required service factor before selecting the gearbox. Otherwise, the unit may operate above its recommended mechanical capacity.
