Grove Gear LeCentric recently expanded its product line of helical in-line reducers for OEM and MRO applications, combining their brand reducer with several of Regal’s motors. The four new cast-iron models are torque-rated from 5,974 lb-in to 18,582 lb-in, with maximum input horsepower from 1/3HP to 40HP. Units are available with ratios up to 680.03:1, with double and triple reduction designs and efficiencies as high as 97 percent. Multiple removable bases and mounting hardware makes the new reducers a drop-in replacement for industry applications.

The new units are designed and rated for applications in general material handling, food and beverage industries, with options available for washdown and harsh environments. Modular design and bolt-on output flanges allow easy field modification of the LeCentric to configure the unit for bolt-on replacement of dozens of popular reducers. The company allows delivery typically in less than five days.

All LeCentric reducers feature hardened and ground AGMA Class10 or better gearing designed for high efficiency and quiet operation. Oversized ball bearings on input and output shafts, optimized bearing spans and high-strength steel shafts provide additional torque transfer and overhung load capacities. Housings are precision machined to control alignment of bearings and gearing. Premium Viton seals provide protection from contamination or loss of lubricant. LeCentric reducers are factory filled with premium Mobil Glygoyle 460 polyalkalene glycol lubricant. All units have a permanently marked nameplate with output torque, ratio and maximum input horsepower rating.
