Gears

As a rule, a suitable gear is required in addition to a motor for installation in an application. KAG has a wide selection of different gears, in order to offer you a custom-fit motor-gear combination for your requirements. Here you have the choice between planetary, worm, and spur gears. Each type of gear has its own individual advantages. This enables us to provide you with an individual customer solution.

Planetary gears

Planetary gear units are compact gears that score with a high power density compared to other types of gears. This means that high torque transmission is provided in the smallest possible installation space. Their robust design predestines these gears for use with high protection class requirements, and the many adaptable components make it easier to select a suitable solution for your application. In addition, planetary gearheads are durable and exhibit good smoothness.

  • Housing made of steel, flange made of aluminum (PKS30, PK42, PK52: plastic versions)
  • Various ratios
  • Multi-stage gear
  • Adaptation of the output shaft

Worm gears

Worm gears are used when, for reasons of space, an output shaft offset in order of 90° to the motor axis is required. This type of gear is also quite compact. Thus, a gear ratio of 60:1 and more is already possible in the single-stage variant. Worm gears are one of the few types of gears that allow self-locking where it is needed. For decades, many door application manufacturers have relied on our gear solutions.

  • Suitable for left and right rotation as well as alternating, continuous, and intermittent operation
  • Optional: Adaptation of the output shaft
  • Optional: double-sided shaft exit
  • Optional: plastic teeth with i = 10: 1 and 15: 1 for SN31 and SN40
  • For further information, please refer to the respective data sheet

Spur gears

Spur gears are characterized by their simple design and the associated lower manufacturing costs.

  • Plate gear
  • Nitrided steel gears
  • Steel output shaft
  • Output in sintered bronze plain bearings
  • For further information, please refer to the respective data sheet
