K Series Type 455 Bevel Helical Gear Reducers

K Series bevel helical gear reducers are one of the powerful and efficient reducer types used in industrial machinery requiring high torque. Transmitting motor power at a 90-degree angle, these reducers are confidently preferred in many sectors thanks to their compact structure, high efficiency and robust housing design.

K Series Type 455 Bevel Helical Gear Reducers

Thanks to the bevel helical gear structure, power transmission takes place quietly, in a balanced manner and with high efficiency. These reducers provide an advantage especially under heavy-duty conditions, in machines requiring continuous operation and in applications with high moment requirements.

General Features

K Series reducers operate with a combination of helical and bevel gears. Thanks to this structure, the reducer both provides high efficiency and offers the possibility of directing the output shaft by 90 degrees.

Main features:

  • High torque transmission
  • 90-degree angled power output
  • Quiet and vibration-free operation
  • High mechanical efficiency
  • Robust housing structure
  • Compact design
  • Long-life bearing and gear system
  • Structure suitable for heavy-duty applications
  • Design compatible with different mounting positions

Applications

K Series bevel helical gear reducers are used in many industrial applications requiring high durability and consistent power transmission.

Common applications:

  • Conveyor systems
  • Crushing and screening plants
  • Concrete batching plants
  • Mining machinery
  • Packaging machines
  • Mixer systems
  • Auger conveyors
  • Feed machines
  • Crane and lifting systems
  • Recycling machines
  • Heavy industry equipment
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Industrial production lines

Working Principle

In K Series reducers, the high-speed motion coming from the electric motor is reduced by the helical and bevel gears inside the reducer. As the speed decreases, the output torque increases. This transmits more powerful, controlled and balanced motion to the machine.

Thanks to the bevel gear structure, the power output is taken perpendicular to the motor axis. This feature provides a major advantage especially in machines where space is limited.

Compatible Motor Options

K Series bevel helical reducers can be used by being coupled with different motor powers. Motor selection should be made according to the load condition of the application, the operating time and the desired output speed.

Frequently used motor powers:

  • 4 kW
  • 5.5 kW

Motor connections are generally made with flanged motors compliant with IEC standards. B5 and B14 flange connections are commonly preferred. Depending on the application, IE3 or IE4 high-efficiency electric motors can be used.

Output Speed Options

In K Series reducers, the output speed varies according to the reducer gear ratio and the speed of the fitted motor. When a 1400 rpm motor is used, the common output speeds are as follows:


  • 70 rpm
  • 90 rpm
  • 112 rpm
  • 120 rpm

A lower output speed provides higher torque. A higher output speed is preferred in applications requiring faster motion.

Advantages

K Series bevel helical reducers can provide higher mechanical efficiency than worm gear reducers. For this reason, they are advantageous in terms of energy savings, long life and high performance.

Prominent advantages:

  • High efficiency
  • Less energy loss
  • Safe operation under heavy load
  • Long service life
  • Quiet operation
  • Compact housing design
  • Suitability for different mounting types
  • Powerful performance in machines requiring high torque
  • Low maintenance requirement

Mounting Types

K Series reducers can be manufactured to suit different machine designs.

Common mounting types:

  • Foot-mounted
  • Flange-mounted
  • Solid shaft output
  • Hollow shaft
  • Torque arm connection
  • B3, B5, B14, B35 connection options

Thanks to this flexible structure, the reducer can be easily used both in new machine manufacturing and in existing systems.

Conclusion

K Series bevel helical gear reducers are one of the ideal solutions for industrial applications requiring high torque, a robust structure and efficient power transmission. Thanks to their quiet operation, long-life gear system and 90-degree angled compact design, they offer reliable performance in many sectors.

For businesses seeking a powerful and long-lasting reducer solution in heavy-duty machines, conveyor systems, crushing and screening plants, concrete batching plants and production lines, K Series bevel helical reducers are one of the right choices.
