Helical Geared Motors

Efficient in-line drives

Helical geared motors provide efficient in-line speed reduction for conveyors, mixers, agitators and continuous process drives. NPE sizes the ratio and service factor for the duty.

Helical gearing gives high efficiency and quiet running, making it the default choice where the motor and driven shaft are in line.

Frequently asked questions

Foot or flange mount?
Both are available to suit the machine base or a flange coupling.
What efficiency can I expect?
Helical stages are typically 96–98% efficient per stage, higher than worm gearing.
Can I get a hollow-shaft version?
Yes, shaft-mounted hollow-output variants are available for direct machine mounting.
How is torque sized?
From the output speed and motor rating, above the running torque by the service factor — see the calculator.

When in doubt, put safety first
