Shaft mount reducers are enclosed helical equipment reducers with a hollow result. They are mounted on the input shaft of the powered machine and are supported by the shaft and torque arm arrangement or motor mount body. This eliminates the need for additional elements to transmit torque from the reducer to the equipment. The parts of a shaft mount reducer include:

• rotating bushing ring
• TorqTaper® bushing
• torque arm bracket
• torque arm rod and turnbuckle
• foot bracket
• input or high swiftness shaft
• an optional backstop

The Browning® shaft install reducer, generally known as the Browning SMTP, is a cost-effective approach to generating machinery. The shaft attach design eliminates the necessity for support structures that are required in conventional foot mounted reducer assemblies. It also eliminates the necessity for chain, sprockets, couplings and bedplates. Furthermore, the look minimizes alignment problems.

The compact design of the shaft mounted reducer helps save space. It also allows the unit to be mounted at 360 degrees around the shaft and by the end of the conveyor. Additionally, the reducer is quite efficient at approximately 98.5% efficiency per reduction stage. Standard industries for the Browning SMTP are aggregate, baggage managing, grain and wastewater treatment.
