• Food Processing
  The gearbox is widely used in food processing plants for driving conveyor belts, mixers, and packaging machines. Its corrosion-resistant materials and low-noise design make it suitable for hygienic and noise-sensitive environments.

• Logistics and Material Handling
  In warehouses and distribution centers, the RC gearbox is used in conveyor systems and automated storage equipment. Its high torque capacity ensures smooth operation under heavy loads, while its compact design fits easily into tight spaces.

• Ceramics and Packaging
  The RC series drives machinery in ceramics production and packaging lines, where precision and durability are essential. Its modular design allows it to adapt to various motor configurations, making it a flexible choice for these industries.

• Plastics Manufacturing
  In plastic extruders and molding machines, the RC gearbox provides the power needed for high-pressure processes. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the demanding conditions of plastics production.

• Other Industries
  The RC Foot-Mounted Helical Gearbox is also used in chemical processing, mining, and environmental protection applications. Its ability to connect with explosion-proof or frequency conversion motors makes it suitable for specialized environments.

Our customers have successfully implemented the RC gearbox in these industries, reporting improved efficiency and reduced downtime. For example, a textile factory increased production output by 15% after switching to the RC series, thanks to its reliable performance and low maintenance needs.

How to Install the RC Foot-Mounted Helical Gearbox？

Proper installation is key to maximizing the performance and lifespan of the RC Foot-Mounted Helical Gearbox. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you install the gearbox correctly. Always consult the product manual and, if necessary, a professional technician to ensure safety and accuracy.

Step 1: Preparation

• Check the Gearbox: Inspect the gearbox for any damage during shipping. Verify that the model number, power rating, and speed ratio match your requirements.

• Gather Tools: You’ll need standard tools like wrenches, screwdrivers, and a torque wrench, as well as mounting bolts compatible with the gearbox’s foot-mounted base.

• Ensure Safety: Disconnect power to the motor and ensure the installation area is clear of hazards.

Step 2: Mounting the Gearbox

• Select a Stable Surface: Choose a flat, rigid surface for mounting to prevent vibration or misalignment. The surface should be capable of supporting the gearbox’s weight and operational loads.

• Align the Gearbox: Position the gearbox on the mounting surface, aligning the foot holes with the mounting points. Use a level to ensure proper alignment.

• Secure the Gearbox: Fasten the gearbox to the surface using high-strength bolts. Tighten the bolts to the recommended torque specifications (refer to the product manual).

Step 3: Connecting the Motor

• Verify Compatibility: Ensure the motor’s output shaft matches the gearbox’s input shaft specifications.

• Couple the Motor: Connect the motor to the gearbox using a suitable coupling. Ensure the coupling is secure and properly aligned to avoid stress on the shafts.

• Check Alignment: Use a dial indicator to verify that the motor and gearbox shafts are aligned within 0.1 mm to prevent premature wear.

Step 4: Lubrication

• Add Lubricant: Fill the gearbox with the recommended lubricant (usually synthetic or mineral oil, depending on the application). Check the oil level using the dipstick or sight glass.

• Seal the Gearbox: Ensure all seals and gaskets are properly installed to prevent leaks.

Step 5: Testing

• Run a Test: Power on the motor and run the gearbox at low speed to check for unusual noises or vibrations. Monitor the temperature during initial operation.

• Adjust if Necessary: If misalignment or noise is detected, stop the system and recheck the alignment and bolt tightness.

Step 6: Final Checks

• Inspect Connections: Verify that all bolts, couplings, and seals are secure.

• Document Settings: Record the installation details, including torque settings and lubricant type, for future reference.

Note: The RC gearbox generates axial thrust due to its helical design, so ensure the system includes appropriate thrust bearings. For detailed specifications or complex installations, contact our technical support team.
