Speed gears & gear drives (or gearboxes) are used for adjusting the speed and direction of rotation for applications in conveyor belts, automotive engines and earth moving equipment. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of comprehensive speed reducers & gear drives from Bison, Boston Gear, Dayton, Hub City, Nord Drivesystems and Winsmith. Featuring standard steel / 8620 steel / hardened and ground steel gear construction for high core strength & wear resistance, these devices can work with input speeds up to 1800 rpm and are also capable of absorbing impact and shock loads. Dayton C-face / indirect-drive speed reducers are ideal for low-speed high-torque applications in constrained spaces and feature doweled and precision-bored housing and cover for accurate gear alignment. All these gears and pinions are heat treated for maximum efficiency under rated torque and come with a powdered epoxy paint finish that is more durable than conventional coatings and highly resistant to impacts & abrasions. For heavy-duty power transmission applications in presses, conveyors and other industrial machineries, Boston Gear speed reducers and gearboxes are best suited because of their optimal geometry, sturdy body & precise shaft alignment capacity. These units are offered in bore diameters up to 1.938 inches and cast iron and stainless-steel material options. A wide variety of these speed reducers & gearboxes are available in parallel, inline and right angle shaft orientations, on Raptor Supplies.
