Product Description
I-MAK YP Series Gear Units
The I-MAK YP Series Gear Units are parallel shaft helical gearboxes designed for complex and space-limited industrial applications. Moreover, their compact arrangement allows the input and output shafts to remain parallel while reducing motor speed and increasing output torque.
The range supports motor powers from 0.12 to 200 kW. In addition, available configurations provide output speeds from 2.4 to 391 rpm.
Therefore, users can select a YP gearbox for both moderate-speed machinery and demanding low-speed, high-torque applications.
Compact Parallel Shaft Design
Parallel shaft gear units position the input and output shafts on parallel axes. Consequently, they require less installation length than many inline gearbox arrangements.
The YP Series also uses helical gears. Therefore, the gear teeth engage gradually, which supports smooth power transmission and quiet operation.
Moreover, the fully reversible gearbox design supports a broad range of mounting positions. As a result, engineers can adapt the unit to different machine layouts and space restrictions.
Key Benefits of the YP Series
- Parallel shaft helical construction
- Compact installation footprint
- Motor powers from 0.12 to 200 kW
- Output speeds from 2.4 to 391 rpm
- Maximum torque up to 18,000 Nm
- Multistage options for low output speeds

Together, these features support reliable power transmission across many industrial duties. Moreover, the broad model range allows users to match the gearbox with the required torque, speed and shaft dimensions.
Torque and Speed Range
The official I-MAK YP range includes:
- YP 42–43: Up to 130 Nm
- YP 52–53: Up to 200 Nm
- YP 62–63: Up to 400 Nm
- YP 72–74: Up to 820 Nm
- YP 82–84: Up to 1,500 Nm
- YP 92–94: Up to 3,000 Nm
- YP 102–104: Up to 4,300 Nm
- YP 122–124: Up to 7,800 Nm
- YP 142–144: Up to 13,000 Nm
- YP 152–154: Up to 18,000 Nm
Therefore, smaller models suit lighter machinery, while larger models support demanding industrial loads.
However, the maximum permitted torque depends on the exact ratio, service factor, operating hours and load pattern. Consequently, users should not select the gearbox by motor power alone.
Low Output Speed Options
Some industrial equipment requires high torque at very low rotational speed. Therefore, I-MAK offers multistage YP configurations with outputs down to approximately 2.4 rpm.
For example, slow-speed arrangements can suit mixers, conveyors, feeders and rotating process equipment. Moreover, the multiple reduction stages allow a standard electric motor to drive low-speed machinery without an additional transmission system.
As a result, the complete drive arrangement can remain compact and easier to maintain.
Input and Motor Configurations
I-MAK offers several input arrangements:
- Input shaft without motor
- IEC-PAM flange without motor
- Complete gearbox with motor
- IEC-PAM flange with motor
Therefore, users can connect the YP Series to a standard electric motor or another suitable drive source.
Moreover, IEC-PAM adaptors simplify the use of compatible IEC motors. Consequently, motor replacement and drive-system integration can become more straightforward.
Mounting Configurations
Available YP arrangements include:
- YP: Foot-mounted gearbox
- YPF: Flange-mounted gearbox
- YPM: Foot-mounted geared motor
- YPFM: Flange-mounted geared motor
- YPP: IEC-PAM foot-mounted gearbox
- YPFP: IEC-PAM flange-mounted gearbox
- YPPM: IEC-PAM foot-mounted geared motor
- YPFPM: IEC-PAM flange-mounted geared motor
Consequently, users can select the configuration that best matches the machine frame, driven shaft and available space.
Shaft Sizes
The official model range provides output shaft diameters from approximately 25 to 120 mm.
Smaller YP 42–43 units use a 25 mm shaft. Meanwhile, the largest YP 152–154 models use an output shaft of approximately 120 mm.
Therefore, shaft size increases with the gearbox’s torque capacity. However, engineers must still verify the exact shaft dimensions, keyway and external loading before installation.
I-MAK YP Series Applications in the UAE
The YP Series may suit:
- Conveyor systems
- Industrial mixers and agitators
- Material-handling equipment
- Packaging machinery
- Manufacturing lines
- Food-processing equipment
- Textile machinery
- Crushers and feeders
- Automated production systems
- Water-treatment equipment
- Industrial pumps
- General process machinery
For example, a conveyor can use the gearbox to reduce motor speed while increasing drive torque. Similarly, a mixer can use a multistage model for controlled low-speed agitation.
Selecting the Correct YP Gear Unit
Correct selection depends on:
- Required output torque
- Required output speed
- Motor power and speed
- Operating hours per day
- Starting frequency
- Shock and reversing loads
- Mounting position
- Shaft and flange requirements
- Ambient temperature
- Driven-machine application
Therefore, users should calculate the required service factor before choosing a model. Otherwise, the gearbox may operate beyond its recommended mechanical capacity.
Why Choose I-MAK YP Series Gear Units?
The YP Series combines compact parallel shaft construction with broad torque and speed options. Moreover, its flexible motor and mounting arrangements simplify installation in restricted industrial spaces.
Therefore, it is a practical choice for UAE facilities that require high load capacity, quiet operation and dependable low-speed power transmission.
