Quick selector

Size your gearbox in 20 seconds.

Enter your motor and the ratio you need. The selector checks the 2027 nominal rating charts and returns the smallest model that carries your power at the chosen service factor.

Rounded to the nearest nominal ratio in the catalogue (6 to 560).
Set by your crane duty class. Not sure? Send us the duty and we will confirm.

1

Gears

High-grade alloy steel, case hardened to HRC 58–60 and precision profile ground to DIN 6 / DIN 7 accuracy.

2

Bearings

Roller bearings throughout.

3

Oil seals

Double imported oil seals on both input and output shafts.

4

Gear case

Super-rigid graded cast iron, machined on high-precision VMC and HMC centres. Fabricated steel housing available on request.

Quality · Assembly & testing

Test-run before it leaves.

Every gearbox is assembled by skilled technicians after stringent quality checks, then trial-run with bearing temperature and noise recorded. ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Drum mounting

Drum on the output shaft? Check the overhung load.

Radial load Fr acts at the centre of the shaft extension. If your drum load exceeds the value below, mount the drum on its own shaft and bearings with a flexible coupling, or use a J.S. Gear standard gear ring for a more rigid arrangement.
