SEW-Eurodrive X-Series industrial gear-unit range

SEW-Eurodrive has launched its Australian-assembled X-Series industrial gear-unit range. Local assembly will initially focus on four distinct sizes, with torque ratings of 58 to 90 kNm.

The X-Series features helical and helical-bevel gear technologies and is suitable for motor powers up to 700 kW. The entire X-Series (up to 475 kNm) is available now and is offered in a range of mounting arrangements, configuration options and user-specific requirements.

The X Series is the ‘big brother’ to SEW-Eurodrive’s MC Compact industrial gear-units (torque range 16 to 48 kNm) and will be assembled on the same production line in nine distinct sizes.

The Australian-assembled X-Series boasts a modular design and is assembled from a range of standard components. The entire X-Series boasts fine torque-graduation, allowing users to closely match an X-Series gear-unit to their application.

Users are therefore able to make savings in space, capital expenditure, operating costs and in the structural supports that would otherwise be required for heavier units.

The X-Series has been designed with a number of versatile options, including a housing that allows the gear-units to be inverted - it can be ‘flipped over’ to produce a mirror-image gearbox.
