Overview
The Transtecno Alu DC range is a modular aluminium gearmotor and speed reducer platform for direct current drive applications. It combines low voltage DC motors with aluminium gearbox families so machinery builders, maintenance teams and OEMs can select a complete geared drive package around speed, torque, shaft layout and duty cycle.
The range includes two main DC motor groups: EC ferrite permanent magnet motors and ND rare earth permanent magnet motors. These motors can be paired with helical in-line, helical bevel, helical parallel, worm, pre-stage worm, double reduction worm and single-stage helical gearbox options depending on the required layout.
Gearmotor Families In The Alu DC Range
The rare earth side of the range includes ND motors and geared variants such as NDCMG helical in-line gearmotors, NDCMB helical bevel gearmotors, NDFT helical parallel gearmotors, NDCM wormgearmotors, NDCMP pre-stage wormgearmotors and NDPS single stage helical gearmotors.
The ferrite permanent magnet side includes EC motors and geared variants such as ECMG helical in-line gearmotors, ECMB helical bevel gearmotors, ECFT helical parallel gearmotors, ECM wormgearmotors, ECMP pre-stage wormgearmotors, ECMM double reduction wormgearmotors and ECPS single stage helical gearmotors.
Key Features
Alu DC gearmotors are useful where the machine requires a low voltage DC drive rather than an AC motor and separate gearbox. Common reasons include battery powered equipment, mobile machinery, compact automation, low voltage control systems or OEM designs where the motor and gearbox need to fit inside a constrained space.
The EC permanent magnet range covers motor power ratings from 100 to 800 W S2, while the ND rare earth range provides compact 160 W and 250 W S2 options with strong torque density. Across the supported gearbox families, aluminium construction helps keep the package compact and lightweight, while permanent synthetic oil lubrication reduces routine maintenance requirements under catalogue operating conditions.
Common Applications
Transtecno Alu DC gearmotors are used across conveyors, mobile equipment, low voltage machinery, compact industrial automation, material handling systems and OEM drive packages. The worm gearmotor families are especially useful when the application needs a compact right-angle output, while helical and bevel helical options suit layouts where efficiency or shaft arrangement are the main selection drivers.
For applications needing very high overall ratios and low output speeds, the ECMM double reduction worm gearmotor family extends the DC worm gearmotor range beyond what a single worm stage can achieve.
Selection Considerations
Choosing the right Alu DC gearmotor starts with voltage, output speed, torque and duty cycle. It is also important to confirm whether the drive will run continuously, intermittently or with frequent starts and stops, as this affects motor sizing and service factor.
For replacement enquiries, photos of the existing motor and gearbox nameplates, shaft dimensions, mounting position, flange details and required output speed will help our team identify the closest configuration. If the application is battery powered or speed controlled, include the available voltage, controller details and any current limits.
