Mid F3
Gearing: 100% Hardened steel Hypoid/Helical gearing
Hypoid gearing is up to 80% more efficient than competitive
worm gears. The Brother all steel Hypoid/Helical combination
has much better wear properties than softer bronze worm
gearing. Brother Hypoid gearmotors last longer!
Hypoid gearing runs cooler than worm gears.
Bearings: Premium Ball
Premium ball bearings provide quiet efficient torque transfer
and high overhung load capacity.
Lubricant: High grade synthetic grease
Synthetic grease provides extended lubrication life over a
wide temperature range. The viscosity resists leakage and
does not require breather holes.
Shaft seals: NBR Rubber, lip type spring loaded
Provides a good seal over a wide range of operating
temperatures.
Housing seals: Machine “slip-fit” O ring
O ring seals provide a longer and more reliable housing seal
compared to competitive gasket sealed housings.
Mounting: Universal mounting in any position and
at any angle!
The combination of synthetic grease, NBR shaft seals, O ring
housing seals, and the lack of breather holes allows for fast,
safe mounting in any position. The design of the gearmotor
flange allows for shaft or flange mounting for simple and
clean appearance.
Eliminate Chain/Sprockets
The F3 type gearmotors and reducers are ideal for eliminating
chain and sprocket assemblies which are unsafe, cumbersome,
and a maintenance hassle. In contrast to traditional worm gears,
with the high efficiency Brother Hypoid/Helical combination
you can maintain a compact drive package at higher ratios.
By flange mounting the F3 product it can be used as the
support bearing for one side of a conveyor pulley. This can
save assembly time, material costs, and present a clean
modern appearance to the end product.
Housing: Die cast aluminum
Aluminum is light weight, corrosion resistant, and provides
good heat dissipation, strength and durability.
