Right-angle gearheads are flange-mounted gearheads that use worm gears and special helical gears. They allow motors to be installed at right angles to the axis of equipment such as belt conveyors. They are available in hollow shaft RH and solid shaft RA models and are ideal for keeping equipment compact.
■The output shaft is perpendicular to the motor shaft, so the motor can be installed perpendicularly to the axis being driven, enabling space-saving.
■Hollow shaft gearheads allow additional space savings and simpler mechanism designs due to the removal of some parts of mechanism as they do not require couplings for mounting. When mounted with a torque arm, no centering is needed, so it is faster to mount the gearhead on the device.

A wide variety of gear ratio (20 types, from 3 to 180) is available. The optimum gear ratio can be selected as the same with ordinary gearheads. The maximum permissible torques are also the same as for ordinary gearheads.
