Gear redesign boosts motor power
Wider gear teeth and heavier and harder-wearing bearings combine to produce a 20% improvement in output from a given footprint.
David Brown has released the F2 range of geared motors, available in eleven sizes up to 110kW capacity Wider gear teeth and heavier and harder-wearing bearings combine to produce a 20% improvement in output from a given footprint and the F2, which is entirely designed, manufactured and assembled in Europe employs fewer components than previous models

Gearbox is crucial to satellite success
The recent successful launch and subsequent solar array deployment of the Eur 2 billion (GBP 1.2 billion) Envisat satellite depended (in part) on a 4in-diameter gearbox.
The F2's dry fit capability means that the motors can be removed and replaced without exposing the gearbox.
The F2 has many components in common with the M, K and C ranges already available.
This not only makes specification of the most suitable geared motor unit easier for all sections of the supply chain, but significantly reduces inventory requirements.
The modular approach to F2's design and construction means that 600 elements can be combined to create ten million assembly permutations in terms of capacity, configuration and application suitability.
