Boston Gear 226D-20 Double Reduction Helical Gear Reducer

Description:

The Boston Gear 226D-20 Gear Reducer is a double-reduction helical gear reducer used to reduce motor speed and increase output torque in industrial power transmission systems. Commonly installed in conveyors, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, mixers, pumps, and manufacturing equipment operating with a 1,750 RPM input and approximately 1 HP drive capacity. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this gear reducer for replacement of worn speed reducers, equipment retrofits, and restoration of reliable torque transmission in industrial machinery.

Applications:

The Boston Gear 226D-20 Gear Reducer is commonly used in conveyor systems, packaging equipment, food processing machinery, bulk material handling, industrial mixers, and OEM manufacturing equipment where controlled speed reduction and increased output torque are required. Its rugged cast iron construction and double-reduction design make it suitable for continuous-duty industrial applications.
