All readers are welcome to visit our website to download the “Generic Specification for Geared Reducers for Conveyors.” This specification covers the general technical requirements for gear reducers for use on belt conveyors. Standard terminology for the specification of reducers is defined. Note that the standardised requirements for units conforming to the “Euro” standard are not specifically covered for this specification. Because of their special nature, gear units that are dependent on external reductions (such as vee drives or chain) to achieve their speed reduction (the ”SMSR” type of reducers) are excluded from this specification.
