Right angle speed reducers go both ways
An expanded series of 41 miniature inch and metric right angle speed reducers are designed to operate in any output direction: reverse, same or dual.
An expanded series of 41 miniature inch and metric right angle speed reducers introduced by Stock Drive Products are designed to operate in any output direction: reverse, same or dual They are ideal for connecting accessory instruments, for reversing rotation of flexible shafts and for controlling two units through one power source

The process of selecting small inch size drive components for new prototypes or production applications just became easier.
Fasteners get to grip with hubs
Fastening rotating components to shafts has become easier with the publication of the new 96-page "Handbook of Fairloc components, the integral fastener".
These versatile, lightweight 113g units, identified as the A 2Z23- (inch series) and A 2Z23M (metric series), come with twin hex nuts that simplify mounting the units onto panels.
These low-cost reducers employ crossed-helical gears that provide a wide range of eight output ratios.
The reducers are finding increased use in intermittent-duty applications where input motion by means of a control knob or gear is transmitted at right angles to the output shaft.
These reducers are also excellent for continuous, light-duty use where they can operate at speeds of about 1800rev/min.
These miniature 64 x 77 x 29.4mm units are easily mounted through a 14.3mm panel hole and secured with twin hex nuts.
Either right-handed or left-handed units may be ordered.
Gear ratios range from 1:1 (where they may be operated from either shaft acting as the output shaft) to 25:1, with power ratings ranging from 37 to 93W.
The units feature a black-anodised die-cast aluminium housing with hardened steel helical gears, steel shafts, threaded brass bushings and come complete with a grease fitting.
Input and output shaft diameters are 6mm.
Manual torque capacities for units up to 5:1 gear ratios are 3.2Nm, and above 5:1 gear ratios are 2.3Nm.
Availability is from stock.
