Product Description
I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units are special-purpose industrial gearboxes developed for machinery that cannot use a conventional standard gearbox. Moreover, I-MAK offers these units for different applications, sectors and customised drive arrangements.
Unlike a single uniform product family, the range contains several gearbox designs with different shafts, torque capacities and output arrangements. Therefore, users should select each I-MAK special gear unit according to the exact machine layout and operating duty.
The published product information lists selected AD configurations with maximum output torque up to 8,000 Nm. In addition, ADS and IRAEM options cover specialised dual-shaft, multi-shaft and application-specific requirements.
Special Gear Units for Custom Machinery
Many production machines require non-standard shaft positions, connection dimensions or output speeds. Consequently, a regular inline or right-angle gearbox may not fit the equipment.
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units address these specialised requirements. For example, the gearbox can use custom shaft dimensions, alternative shaft materials or coupling connections.
Moreover, I-MAK can adapt internal components and surface protection. As a result, the special gearbox can match demanding production environments and restricted installation layouts.
Key Benefits of the AD / ADS / IRAEM Series
The I-MAK special gear unit range offers several practical advantages:
- Special-purpose industrial gearbox construction
- Selected output torque up to 8,000 Nm
- Multiple output-shaft arrangements
- Custom shaft dimensions
- Special shaft materials
- Hardened-shaft options
- Threaded and multi-key shafts
- Coupling connections
- Reinforced input or output bearings
- Custom gear-ratio options
- Special housing materials and machining
- Food-compatible lubricant options
- Low-temperature lubricant options
- Viton and special seal options
- Epoxy and anti-corrosion coating options
Together, these features provide significant engineering flexibility. Moreover, they allow machine builders to adapt the gearbox to the actual process rather than redesigning equipment around a standard unit.
Published Model Information
The I-MAK AD, ADS and IRAEM gearbox range includes the following principal models:
- AD 180: Maximum torque 300 Nm; 30 mm shaft
- AD 230: Maximum torque 8,000 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- AD 250: Maximum torque 8,000 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- ADS 230: Maximum torque 4,820 Nm; 80 mm shaft
- IRAEM range: Published torque range from approximately 90 to 1,800 Nm
- IRAEM shaft range: Approximately 20 to 120 mm
In addition, selected ADS 185 and ADS 230 configurations provide output-speed relationships of 1.0 or 1.486 between the shafts.
However, these I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units do not share one common ratio or power range. Therefore, users should obtain a project-specific technical selection for each application.
AD Series Gear Units
The I-MAK AD Series includes special gearbox configurations with different torque ratings and shaft sizes.
For example, the AD 180 is a compact model for lower torque requirements. Meanwhile, the AD 230 and AD 250 provide substantially higher torque capacity.
Therefore, the AD Series can serve different machinery sizes and operating duties. However, users must confirm the exact gear arrangement, input speed, output speed and shaft configuration before ordering.
ADS Series Gear Units
The I-MAK ADS Series supports machinery that requires more than one output shaft or a controlled speed difference between shafts.
Consequently, an ADS special gear unit can suit metal-forming and roll-form production equipment where upper and lower rollers operate at different speeds.
Moreover, synchronised gearbox layouts can position several units along one production line. As a result, one or two motors may drive a complete group of gearbox stations.
IRAEM Series Gear Units
The I-MAK IRAEM range provides additional special-drive options across a broad shaft range.
Therefore, an IRAEM gearbox may suit custom machinery where standard gearbox shaft dimensions, output arrangements or mounting positions are unsuitable.
However, the exact IRAEM configuration depends on the machine design. Consequently, users should provide complete dimensional drawings, operating loads and required shaft positions during selection.
Custom Shaft and Coupling Options
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units can support several output-shaft options, including:
- Special shaft dimensions
- Alternative shaft materials
- Hardened shafts
- Threaded shafts
- Multiple-key arrangements
- Coupling connections
Similarly, input shafts can use custom dimensions, materials, hardening treatments and coupling arrangements.
Therefore, the gearbox can connect more effectively with specialised production machinery. Moreover, customised shaft geometry may reduce the need for external adaptors or additional machining.
Component and Environmental Options
I-MAK lists several custom component and environmental options, including:
- Reinforced bearings
- Special bearing brands and dimensions
- Special seals
- Viton seals
- Synthetic lubricant
- Food-compatible lubricant
- Lubricant for temperatures down to approximately -40°C
- Special housing materials
- Epoxy paint
- Outdoor acrylic paint
- Anti-corrosion coating
As a result, users can configure an I-MAK special gearbox for harsh, outdoor, corrosive, low-temperature or hygienic operating conditions.
However, the selected materials, lubricant, seals and coatings must match the actual process and environment.
I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Applications in India
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units may suit many specialised industrial applications across India, including:
- Roll-form production lines
- Sheet-metal forming machinery
- Cable-tray production
- Pipe and profile manufacturing
- Automotive component production
- Conveyor and material-handling systems
- Mixers and agitators
- Metal-processing machinery
- Special automation equipment
- Heavy manufacturing systems
- Custom production lines
- Industrial machinery upgrades
For example, an ADS gearbox can drive two forming rolls at controlled relative speeds. Similarly, an AD or IRAEM gear unit can provide a customised shaft arrangement for specialised machinery.
Selecting the Correct Special Gear Unit
Correct selection of an I-MAK AD, ADS or IRAEM gearbox depends on:
- Required output torque
- Input and output speeds
- Number of input and output shafts
- Required shaft spacing
- Shaft diameter and material
- Load characteristics
- Daily operating hours
- Mounting arrangement
- Ambient conditions
- Lubricant and coating requirements
Therefore, users should provide technical drawings and complete operating data. Otherwise, a standard or incorrectly configured model may not meet the machine’s alignment, load or speed requirements.
Why Choose I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units?
The I-MAK AD / ADS / IRAEM Series Gear Units provide greater design flexibility than conventional standard gearboxes. Moreover, I-MAK offers extensive shaft, bearing, seal, lubricant, housing and coating variations.
Therefore, the range is a practical choice for manufacturers across India that require customised power transmission, robust construction and dependable long-term operation.
