Introduction

The KAT Series Gear Reducer uses a K Series gearbox design with a torque arm mounting arrangement. It offers a practical drive solution for industrial machines that need a suitable gearbox and mounting setup.

The series includes ten models, from KAT37 to KAT157. Each model offers different housing sizes and mounting dimensions. In addition, the product drawings show two mounting options: C Face and D Face.

In this guide, you can explore the KAT Series features, model sizes, mounting dimensions, common applications, and selection tips. This information will help you find the right gearbox for your equipment.

1. KAT Series Gear Reducer Features

The KAT Series combines a K Series gearbox design with a torque arm mounting setup. It offers ten model sizes and different mounting options to meet various industrial drive needs.

1.1 KAT Gear Reducer Structure

The KAT Series features a K Series gearbox structure and a torque arm mounting arrangement.

The torque arm connects the gearbox to the machine support. It also helps hold the gearbox in its required position during operation. Therefore, customers should check the torque arm position and mounting dimensions before installation.

1.2 KAT37–KAT157 Model Range

The KAT Series includes ten models:

KAT37, KAT47, KAT57, KAT67, KAT77, KAT87, KAT97, KAT107, KAT127, and KAT157.

Each model has different housing sizes and mounting dimensions. As a result, customers can compare the available sizes and choose a gearbox that fits their machine layout.

1.3 KAT37–KAT157 Dimensions and Mounting Configurations

Each KAT model has its own mounting dimensions. These measurements help customers check the gearbox size and installation space before ordering.

The product drawings show key dimensions, including housing height, mounting height, torque arm position, and connection measurements.

In addition, the drawings show two mounting options:

  • C Face Mounting: One of the mounting arrangements shown in the KAT product drawings.
  • D Face Mounting: An alternative arrangement for different machine layouts.

Customers can use the dimensional table to compare all ten models. Before choosing a gearbox, check the mounting position, connection dimensions, and available installation space.

1.4 Output Connection and Motor Compatibility

The output connection and motor mounting setup must match your equipment requirements.

Before placing an order, confirm the output connection, motor mounting arrangement, and gearbox orientation.

For replacement projects, you can send us your existing gearbox nameplate or installation drawing. Our team can then check the key dimensions and connection details to help you find a suitable KAT model.

2. KAT Series Gear Reducer Applications

The KAT Series suits industrial machines that need a reduced-speed drive. For example, customers can consider these gear reducers for the following applications.

2.1 Conveyor and Material Handling Systems

Belt, roller, and chain conveyors use gear reducers to drive material movement. The KAT Series can fit these systems when its mounting arrangement and output connection match the equipment design.

When choosing a model, consider the conveyor speed, load conditions, and installation space. Also, check the torque arm position to make sure it fits the conveyor support structure.

2.2 Packaging and Production Line Equipment

Packaging machines and production lines often use gear reducers in their feeding, conveying, and product transfer systems.

The KAT Series offers several model sizes and mounting options. Therefore, equipment manufacturers can compare the gearbox dimensions with their machine layouts before selecting a model.

2.3 Feeding and Processing Equipment

Industrial feeders and processing machines often need reduced-speed drives to control material movement.

For these applications, customers should check the motor specifications, working load, and required output speed. They should also confirm the mounting dimensions to ensure the gearbox fits the machine.

3. How to Select the Right KAT Gear Reducer?

Choosing the right KAT Series Gear Reducer starts with your motor and machine requirements. To help us recommend a suitable model, prepare the following information before requesting a quotation.

Motor Specifications

Provide the motor power, speed, type, and mounting details. These details help us check the motor and gearbox connection.

Required Output Speed

Tell us the output speed your machine needs. We can then review the required reduction ratio.

Load Requirements

Describe the equipment load, working frequency, and operating conditions. These details help us assess the gearbox requirements.

Output Connection and Mounting Dimensions

Provide the output connection size, torque arm position, mounting dimensions, and available installation space. In addition, check whether the C Face or D Face mounting arrangement suits your equipment.

Existing Gearbox Information

For replacement projects, send us the existing gearbox model, nameplate, or installation drawing. This information helps us compare the old gearbox with the KAT Series.

Not sure which model fits your equipment? Send us your motor details and installation drawing. Our team can help recommend a suitable KAT37–KAT157 model.
