Our Range Of Shaft Mounted Geared Motor

Looking for Shaft Mounted Geared Motors & Parallel Shaft Units? At Engineers Mate, we stock and supply a comprehensive range of industrial shaft-mounted geared motors designed for space-constrained, high-torque applications. Featuring a compact parallel shaft design and a hollow output shaft, these units mount directly onto your machine drive shaft eliminating the need for flexible couplings or complex motor bases.

Whether you are replacing a failed drive on a conveyor system, upgrading an industrial mixer, or specifying equipment for an OEM machinery build, our engineering team provides rapid access to premium parallel shaft units from leading brands including Varvel, TEC, and Bonfiglioli.

Key Engineering Benefits & Operational Advantages

Direct Shaft Mounting: Mounts straight onto the driven machine shaft via keyway or shrink disc, completely eliminating alignment issues, drive chains, and external shaft couplings.
Narrow, Space-Saving Profile: The parallel shaft geometry keeps the motor body close to the machine frame, conserving plant floor space and reducing overall equipment width.
High Overhung Load Capacity: Engineered with reinforced output bearings and robust housings to easily withstand heavy radial loads and continuous shock-load conditions.
Integrated Torque Arm Support: Simple torque arm restraint absorbs reaction torque, allowing smooth power transmission without stress on machine bearings or framework.

Technical Specifications & Stock Profile

Hollow & Solid Shaft Options: Stocked with metric standard hollow bore output shafts (with keyway or shrink disc profile), as well as single or double solid shaft options.
Rugged Cast Iron & Aluminium Housings: Available in lightweight die-cast aluminium for smaller power demands and heavy-duty cast iron monobloc frames for extreme industrial environments.
Broad Power & Speed Ranges: Options covering power ratings from 0.12kW up to 90kW, with multi-stage helical gear reductions to achieve precise output speeds.
Versatile Electrical & Mounting Sets: Compatible with 230V single phase and 400V three-phase motors, electric brake motors, and inverter-duty drives. Fully adaptable with torque arms, output flanges, and rubber buffer kits.

Typical Industrial Applications
Shaft mounted geared motors are widely specified across UK industry for:

Conveyors & Elevators: Direct drive integration on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, and screw feeders.
Industrial Mixers & Agitators: High-torque fluid and powder handling where space alongside the vessel is limited.
Quarrying & Recycling Machinery: Heavy-duty material processing equipment requiring resistance to high radial loads and vibration.
