Ondrives.US has been designing and manufacturing reliable, high performance gearboxes for more than thirty years. Our FF Series parallel shaft spur gear reducers (FF and FFS models) are designed for high efficiency with low backlash. Manufactured from durable, high quality materials and permanently lubricated for superior performance with minimal maintenance requirements the FF and FFS are lightweight but rugged. Our parallel shaft gearboxes will provide years of reliable service, even in nonstop or high cycle operation ideal for a wide range of power transfer applications ( view catalog ). If you&#;re unsure which parallel shaft gear reducer is right for your specific needs, view our Buyer&#;s Guide for ten important points to consider when choosing a gearbox. Another valuable reference, Inertia and the Use of Inertia Figures offers a formula for dealing with inertia in gearbox selection.
The company is the world’s best Parallel Shaft Gear Reducer supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
We&#;re taking everything we&#;ve discussed and applying it in three scenarios. Any gear motor will work for most applications, but there&#;s usually only one or two types that are best.
In this video we discuss how to select a gear motor in four simple steps by choosing an integrated gear motor.
This video continues our discussion of selecting a gear motor by pairing the separate components. Now we look at how to select a motor based on the reducer selected for the application.
In this video we begin our deep dive into gear motor selection. There are two methods for pairing motors and reducers to create the optimal gear motor. Here we begin with the first method by taking a look at gear box selection.
This video covers the important application criteria that need to be considered when selecting a gear motor.
Right Angle reducers are great for applications where size and space are at a premium. With the ability of the the output to turn a 90 degree corner.
Planetary reducers are ideal for applications requiring high torque in a small package and an output shaft with coaxial alignment. We'll discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of Planetary gearboxes.
Parallel shaft gearboxes are an ideal solution for continuous duty applications; applications requiring low torque; applications with higher ambient temperatures; or applications that are cost conscious.
In this video we give a quick overview of motors and explain the rationale for using gear motors - why using a reducer (gearbox) with a motor enables the use of a smaller motor and increased torque and/or speed.
Even when the motor matches the application on paper, you can still run into new variables while testing. Here are six common checks to help determine why your motor may be overheating.
In this video we discuss planetary gearboxes. Learn the ins and outs of how these reducers work as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
As we round out this video series, we will share several motor calculation formulas and other tools to help you with the selection process.
We&#;re taking everything we&#;ve discussed and applying it in three scenarios with varying levels of customized motors. Any motor will work for most applications, but there&#;s usually only one or two types that are best.
In this video we hope to ease any concerns you may have about what&#;s involved in customizing a motor to fit your application. You don&#;t have to take a standard motor and try to make it &#;fit&#; your application.
In this video we discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of BLDC Motors. We'll also look at the BLDC motor performance curves for speed, torque and efficiency.
In this video we discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of AC Motors. We'll also look at the AC motor performance curves for speed, torque and efficiency.
In this video we discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of DC Motors. We'll also look at the DC motor performance curves for speed, torque and efficiency.
In this video we discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of Universal Motors. We'll also look at the Universal Motor performance curves for speed, torque and efficiency.
This is part two of our discussion on application criteria. It seems obvious, but we like to remind our customers to always consider the maximum size and weight of motor their application will allow, and to know what kind of life expectancy the motor will need to have.
