Gear Motors For Greenhouse

Gear motors for Greenhouse / Greenhouse Gearbox Reducer

The EP Greenhouse Gearbox is a compact and lightweight reduction gearbox with an integrated limit switch system that is suitable for assembly of a locally available electric motor. The Gearbox is used in manually-controlled or climate-controlled ventilation and screen systems in  greenhouses. The quick and easy-to-installEP Gearbox is rainproof and windproof. The Gearbox has a high protection class (IP65) and can be used in an ambient temperature of 0-60 °C.

The low-noise Gearbox for Greenhouse has a gearwheel transmission and a worm wheel transmission, which are integrated in an aluminium precision housing. The self-braking worm wheel transmission ensures that the drive shaft is locked when the reduction gearbox is not running. The fully sealed reduction gearbox has an expansion chamber with a diaphragm to keep the gear oil at a low pressure under all circumstances, even at high temperatures. Thanks to the use of an expansion chamber, the Gearbox can be installed in any position. There are no restrictions, because there is no need for a bleed plug. The sealed reduction gearbox keeps the gear oil of the Gearbox in optimal condition for its entire operating lifetime. The Gearbox is suitable for discontinuous use, operating class s3-30%, with a maximum activation time of 25 minutes.

The Gear box reduction gearbox has an FT85 motor assembly flange, on to which a suitable IEC standard motor can easily be installed (EN 50347).

The Gear box has a rotating limit switch system with operating switches and circuit breakers (NC contacts) for turning off at the end positions. The limit switch system is installed in an integrated chamber and is enclosed by an impact-resistant plastic cover. The limit switch system is accessible and easy to adjust. The limit switch system's maximum switching range is 40 or 64 revolutions of the drive shaft. The cabling is connected in spring-clip connections. The Gearbox has an IP68 M16 x 1.5 cable gland (5-9 mm cable) for the cable feed-through.

The Gearbox for greenhouse comes with 16 teeth 5/8”x3/8” sprockets, keys and fasteners. The accompanying chain couplings and assembly plates are available as accessories.
