Renold Gears has extended its range of gearboxes with the addition of the new e.JW Series worm-gear unit.
Renold Gears' SMXtra gear unit is a robust, reliable unit that now offers "instant availability".
Manufactured in the UK at its factory in North Manchester, the SMXtra unit is available in 12 sizes in parallel bore with a complete range of bushes in 5mm increments from 20 to 190mm.
A taper lock securing and release system is also available which can be fitted on either side of the unit, making the SMXtra one of the easiest units on the market to fit and remove.
Being shaft-mounted and secured with a torque arm rather than a base-mounted unit allows trouble-free interchangeability with other ranges.
The new "off the shelf" stock is available on preferred sizes and ratios in both parallel and taper bore options for immediate despatch from the Manchester factory, or from strategic locations throughout the UK via Renold's Distributor network.
