For demanding reduction tasks
24 June 2013
Delivered ready for installation, the new RD2 gear head series from Nabtesco Precision Europe features specifications that make it suitable for very demanding reduction tasks.

The series offers expanded mounting options, as well as being suitable for belt-drive operation and installation at right angles.
The reduction gear heads of the series combine the advantages of RV trochoidal gears with easy mounting. The gear head is closed and filled with grease, so it is completely ready for installation. To facilitate installation even more, an adapter plate and a motor shaft coupling are included.
Nabtesco offers gear variants with and without a hollow shaft, for implementation of numerous customised solutions.
The new series is based on the successful RD series, but offers even greater flexibility. "We have further optimised the design, so that the new gears are even more lightweight and compact. Important for our existing customers to know: Switching from the old series to the new RD2 series is easy, since the mounting dimensions and boring patterns are identical,” Marcus Löw, manager sales department at Nabtesco explains.
