The first 9 of a total of 12 sizes are now available worldwide. This new parallel shaft gear series is compact, powerful and technically unique. It can be installed in a wide variety of configurations, leading to a wide range of application possibilities.

The power density of this new generation has been significantly increased compared to preceding models. With 637,000 in lbs of rated torque, the largest model now available, the HDP 140, clearly outclasses all comparable competitors. The new HDP catalogue shows various designs, shafts and flanges, which compliment the basic model and allow it to be used in all mechanical engineering applications.

Bonfiglioli, Europe’s largest manufacturer of geared units, has again taken the lead in parallel-shaft gears. The basic advantages of this new series are: record torque density, top performance with high reliability, an increase in the diversity of options for assembly and attachment compared with previous products, user friendliness, extremely quiet operation, and a competitive price/quality ratio. The result is a family of gear drives which fit the requirements of mechanical engineers.

The 9 models now available are rated: 41,000, 58,000, 102,000, 192,000, 234,000, 313,000, 513,000 and 637,000 in.-lb. and provide power for a wide range of uses. They are currently in 2, 3 or 4 stages with ratios from 7:1 to 500:1.

With a foot or flange configuration, with hollow shaft for slot and keyway, the new HDP units can be mounted to satisfy applications in mixing, stirring, conveying or lifting.

The spectrum of machines range from pumps to crushers; whether for mining, heavy conveyors, or pulp & paper applications, these geared units of the new range offer significant advantages over anything currently available.

In terms of the motor, the options of a full shaft in metric or inch measurements are available, as is the case for direct motor attachment, which then continues as a "unit" to have the advantage of being a compact geared component. In terms of output drive, either single or double full shafts in various designs, hollow drives with a slot and key and designs with a shrink fit coupling are in the program. A number of flange variations supplement the direct transmission options.

The list of options for the series of new parallel shaft gears are impressive; oil cooling and heating are available, as are heavy duty bearings and back stops.

Bonfiglioli is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of motors, gearmotors, planetary gearmotors, variable speed drives and hydrostatic drives for a wide variety of industrial applications.
