Overview
The Transtecno ITS helical parallel cast iron gearmotor range is designed for heavy duty industrial applications where strength, flexibility and compact power transmission are important. As part of the Transtecno IRON range, the ITS series gives Australian businesses a robust parallel shaft gearmotor option for demanding machinery, conveyors, process equipment and OEM drive systems.
The ITS range is built around a cast iron case and a modular design, making it suitable for both new machinery projects and replacement gearbox applications. The parallel shaft layout is useful where equipment needs a compact gearmotor arrangement with the input and output shafts offset from each other rather than directly in line.
Motordrives Australia supplies and supports the ITS range for industrial users, machine builders and maintenance teams across Australia. Our team can assist with selecting the correct size, ratio, motor arrangement, mounting position and output configuration for your operating requirements.
Key Features
The ITS series is designed for industrial applications that involve particularly heavy loads. Its cast iron housing provides the strength and rigidity needed for machinery operating in tough environments or under regular production demands.
The range includes three main sizes: ITS 922/3, ITS 932/3 and ITS 942/3. These sizes provide respective torque capacities of 1100 Nm, 1700 Nm and 3200 Nm, giving plant operators and machine builders a practical selection range for different load and speed requirements.
A key advantage of the ITS range is the choice of case style. The series is available with a universal case, which includes feet and a flat side flange on one side, or a pendant case, without feet and with a flat side flange on one side. This gives more flexibility when fitting the gearmotor into machinery with existing mounting points or tight installation spaces.
The series also offers a high degree of modularity across input and output kits. Catalogue versions include U, U/F, P and P/F configurations, with hollow output shaft options and selected accessory kits available. This modular approach helps simplify integration into a wide range of industrial machinery.
ITS gearmotors are supplied with synthetic oil lubrication, with oil quantity depending on the mounting position. Available mounting positions include M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6. The gearmotors are finished with epoxy powder coating in RAL 7016, with an average coating thickness of 0.10 to 0.15 mm.
Common Applications
ITS helical parallel cast iron gearmotors are suited to applications where a compact offset shaft drive is preferred. Common uses include conveyor systems, bulk handling equipment, mixers, materials handling machinery, processing lines, packaging equipment and general industrial production machinery.
For Australian businesses in mining, agriculture, food and beverage, water treatment, manufacturing and OEM equipment supply, the ITS range provides a robust gearbox platform that can be configured to suit different layouts, load conditions and installation requirements.
The U and P versions allow the gearmotor to be selected according to the load and bearing requirements of the application. The U version uses ball bearings on the output side, while the P version uses taper roller bearings. Taper roller bearings can also be specified for the U version on request where the application requires it.
Selection Considerations
Selecting the right ITS gearmotor should start with the real operating demands of the machine. Important selection factors include required output speed, reduction ratio, motor power, output torque, service factor, mounting position, radial load, duty cycle and shaft arrangement.
The ITS technical data includes input speed, output speed, reduction ratio, nominal input power, output torque, service factor and permitted radial loads. Service factor should be selected based on the application, including operating hours, start frequency, load type and whether the drive is exposed to shock loading.
Mounting position is especially important because oil quantity changes depending on how the gearmotor is installed. The ITS catalogue includes oil quantities for M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 mounting positions, so the final selection should match the actual installation orientation.
Output radial load also needs to be reviewed carefully, especially where the drive uses chains, belts, sprockets or pulleys. The ITS range includes different output radial load ratings for U and P versions. Depending on size and configuration, the maximum output radial load can reach up to 15000 N for U versions and up to 31000 N for P versions.
Accessory options should also be considered during selection. Available options include shrink disc output shaft kits, torque arm kits, output shaft assembly kits, output shaft disassembly kits and backstop devices. The backstop device allows one way output shaft rotation and should be specified with the required rotation direction.
Support And Enquiries
Motordrives Australia can assist with selecting an ITS helical parallel cast iron gearmotor for new machinery, replacement applications and industrial upgrade projects. If you already have an existing gearbox model, nameplate details, required output speed or motor size, our team can use that information to help narrow down the correct configuration.
For the most accurate recommendation, include details such as the driven equipment, load type, shaft layout, required ratio, mounting position, duty cycle and operating environment. This helps ensure the selected ITS gearmotor is suited to the actual working conditions of your equipment.
