speeroX

An electric motor provides high speeds at a relatively low torque. To set loads into motion, gears are used that convert the rotary motion provided by the electric motor into a motion that is slower, but also more powerful. The classics among the high-transmission gears are multi-stage spur and planetary gear sets or bevel, helical and worm gear sets if an angled arrangement is necessary. Oftentimes, combinations of the listed variants are used.

Depending on the application, increasingly stringent requirements for the degree of efficiency, service life, operating noise and installation space sometimes push conventional gear variants to the limit. Multi-stage spur and planetary gear sets consist of many components. Bevel gear sets are loud and require at least one downstream gear stage. Worm gear sets lose power and their service life is diminished by friction. This is where the high-transmission speeroX gear set developed by Framo Morat comes into play.

The speeroX gear set relocates the gearing of the wheel to the flat side. This results in a spiral gearing that is driven by a modified worm screw. The spatial arrangement reduces the installation space. This results in kinematically favorable conditions that reduce the sliding components and thus the friction. Nevertheless, the gearing remains quiet thanks to the high overlap and the sliding engagement. A low-wear steel-steel pairing increases power density and service life.

In the right application, the speeroX gear set beats conventional multi-stage gears in terms of the gear ratio. It is quiet and features high efficiency with a long service life. And all this in only one gear stage with a reduced weight and installation space, consisting of just two components (worm and wheel) that make installation easier.

With speeroX wheelsets in a steel-steel combination, robust drive solutions with high power density can be implemented. The wear-free material pairing offers a durable alternative to conventional gear concepts. Additionally, the use of efficiency-optimized speeroX gearing components has proven effective in dynamic applications. Beneficial sliding effects ensure low noise emission.

NEW – Also in plastics: The speeroX material portfolio is expanding, making it the perfect match for even more applications. Building on decades of experience in the design of gearing components, a plastic-optimized speeroX design philosophy has been developed. This allows both core competencies of the Franz Morat Group to complement each other perfectly – a plastic wheel and a metal worm form the speeroX wheelset. The result: highly compact, efficient, and cost-effective speeroX plastic gearboxes, ideal for both the automotive industry as well as industrial applications.

The customer-specific design makes it possible to prioritize key criteria (e.g. installation space, noise, efficiency, …) in a targeted manner. The advantages over the classic gear unit variants become clear if the requirement profile and the area of application are already precisely defined during the design phase.
