Gear Reducer can be cross over HUB CITY's
(OP)
Hi, Fellows,
We want to switch HUB CITY's Gear Reducer "Model 134" to some others. But it has to be cross over, because we don't want to change our mounting positions etc. Any suggection is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Carrie

Most likely you will NOT get an exact replacement, but will require drilling new mounting holes or fabricating a simple adapter plate.
Before you call, get all of your data from the reducer's nameplate: input horsepower, voltage, shaft size, ratio, output speed, etc. Keyway configuration, mounting position, etc. would be useful to know, also. Gearmotor manufacturers will usually do a custom fab for a price if necessary.

I believe the 134 is a right angle worm gear reducer.
Dodge "quantis" makes a similar model "tigear" box, but I don't think they make one as small as the 134.
Electragear also makes a small worm-box with lots of options.
Most of the manufacturers have drawings available online so you can compare.

I'm sure there are many many more out there, but these are the guys I use.

If you decide to go with a helical bevel or hypoid gear box you would probably be able to use a smaller motor if you have a 40:1 or higher ratio. These type boxes will easily back drive at a 60:1 ratio so if you need the braking effect of a worm forget it. These boxes will last much longer than a worm box but will probably not be a drop in. A few of the companies making them are Stober, SEW, Brother, Nord and Falk.
