Raydafon PC gear units are precision helical gearboxes built for conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling and industrial automation. Seven frames from PC-30 to PC-110 cover input power 0.12–22 kW, output torque up to 2000 Nm and ratios 3:1–250:1. Case-hardened and precision-ground helical gears run smoothly at up to 96% efficiency. Die-cast aluminium housings are machined in a single setup to keep bearing bores concentric. Mounting interfaces follow IEC and DIN standards, supporting B3 foot, B5 flange, B14 small flange and B35 foot + flange configurations. OEM ratios, shafts, motor flanges and ATEX versions are available on request.
PC Gear Units – Precision Helical Gearboxes for High-Torque Power Transmission
PC gear units are single-stage or multi-stage helical gearboxes built for conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling and automation equipment. A die-cast aluminium housing machines in a single setup to keep bearing bores aligned. Case-hardened and precision-ground helical gears run smoothly and hold torque under reversing load. Seven frame sizes from PC-30 to PC-110 cover 0.12–22 kW input power and up to 2000 Nm output torque, with mounting interfaces that follow IEC and DIN standards for direct replacement.

Frame Sizes PC-30 to PC-110
Seven frames cover the full power and torque range. Smaller frames use compact aluminium housings, larger frames use a wider centre distance to hold higher torque. Every frame shares the same housing concept, gear finishing process and lubrication strategy.

Mounting Configurations
PC gear units support four mounting configurations that follow IEC and DIN standards, so the unit can replace an existing gearbox without changing the machine plate or the coupling.
B3
Foot-Mounted
Base-mounted horizontal output. Standard for conveyors, mixers and general industrial drives on a flat machine bed.
B5
Flange-Mounted
Large output flange that bolts directly to the driven hub. Used when the gearbox must sit close to the load.
B14
Small Flange-Mounted
Compact flange on the output side for smaller loads. Ideal for confined installation space and weight-sensitive axes.
B35
Foot + Flange
Combination of foot and flange for higher mounting rigidity under shock or reversing load. Standard for heavy conveyors.
Six Engineering Features That Decide Service Life
These six design points are what separate a PC helical gearbox from a low-cost unit that loses alignment after a few months on a reversing axis.
01
One-Piece Moulded Aluminium Housing
Die-cast aluminium alloy housing is produced on horizontal machining centres in a single operation. This keeps the bearing bore, the shaft seat and the mounting face concentric, which protects the gear mesh over a long service life.
MaterialDie-cast aluminium alloy
02
Case-Hardened and Ground Helical Gears
Gears use high-grade alloy steel, case-hardened and finished on precision gear grinding machines. Hard-facing gives high wear resistance, and the ground tooth profile keeps backlash stable across the full life of the gearbox.
Gear materialAlloy steel, case-hardened
03
Helical Gearing for Smooth and Quiet Running
Helical teeth engage progressively rather than at a single point. Torque is shared across several teeth in mesh, so vibration is reduced, noise is lower and the mesh stays stable under reversing load.
EfficiencyUp to 96%
04
High Power Density in a Compact Footprint
The combination of helical gears and a die-cast aluminium housing delivers high output torque in a compact envelope. This saves machine space, especially on packaging and material-handling equipment where the drive sits inside the frame.
Max torque2000 Nm at PC-110
05
Oil-Bath Lubrication and Reliable Seals
PC units use oil-bath lubrication with double-lip seals on the input and output shafts. Oil-bath lubrication keeps the mesh cool under continuous duty and supports long service intervals, while the seals keep dust and water out of the housing.
LubricationOil-bath, double-lip sealed
06
Corrosion-Resistant Aluminium Housing
Aluminium alloy gives natural corrosion resistance without painting. This makes PC gear units suitable for humid, washdown and outdoor installations, and for food-processing equipment when paired with a food-grade lubricant option.
EnvironmentHumid, washdown, outdoor

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ratios, mounting, input speed and customisation.
What does PC stand for in PC Gear Units?
PC is the Raydafon helical gearbox series designation. It is a precision helical gear unit designed for high-efficiency power transmission with compact die-cast aluminium housings, not a planetary gearbox. If your application needs a planetary unit, choose the BAB, BADR, BAE or BPG series instead.
Can PC gear units be mounted vertically?
Yes. PC gear units support vertical shaft-up and shaft-down installations, with a special bearing and lubrication arrangement selected for the mounting position. Provide the mounting position and load direction when requesting a quotation so the correct arrangement is specified.
What is the maximum input speed?
Standard input speed is up to 3000 rpm. Higher input speeds are available on request for specific applications. The recommended input speed depends on frame size, ratio and duty cycle.
Are explosion-proof or ATEX versions available?
Yes. PC gear units can be supplied with housings and seals certified for hazardous area environments under ATEX or IECEx. Provide the zone classification and gas group when requesting a quotation.
Can PC gear units replace an existing gearbox from another brand?
Yes. PC gear unit dimensions and mounting interfaces follow IEC and DIN standards, so they can often be specified as a direct replacement for an existing gearbox. Provide the existing model, mounting configuration, ratio and shaft drawing for confirmation.
What is the warranty period and OEM lead time?
We provide an 18-month warranty from shipment date covering manufacturing defects, with full technical support. Standard PC gear unit models are stocked; custom orders typically ship within 25–35 working days after drawing confirmation.
