Overview
The ZAE M 125 B 1300/65 gearbox is a precision worm gear unit designed for reliable power transmission in industrial applications. Manufactured by ZAE-AntriebsSysteme (a German leader in gear unit design), this Model B basic-type reducer delivers a 26:1 gear reduction with a hollow shaft configuration. The 1300 designation indicates the hollow shaft arrangement, making it suitable for direct coupling or shaft mounting onto existing drive systems.
Key Features
- 26:1 reduction ratio for precise speed control and torque multiplication
- Hollow shaft (1300) design enables direct mounting on motor shafts or mechanical components
- Model B basic-type construction—durable, cost-effective, and field-proven
- High-quality grey cast iron housing (GG20) with ductile iron bosses for strength and durability
- Centrifugally cast bronze worm rims with nickel for smooth, quiet operation
- Suitable for beverage, food processing, plant construction, and general machinery applications
