Overview

Radicon Series M helical inline gearmotors and reducers give an efficient, compact drive for conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers and process equipment. The range is built from a family of modular kits, so as a Radicon build centre we assemble the size, ratio, input and mounting you need in our own shop instead of waiting on a factory.

Gordon Russell has stocked and built Series M since the range was introduced, and we keep Series M kits and parts on the shelf for builds, repairs and conversions.

Why Series M

  • Accepts standard NEMA and IEC motors, so replacement motors are fast and low cost
  • Dimensionally interchangeable with market-leading inline gearmotors, so most units drop in without modification
  • Oil-tight gear head: the motor comes off without spilling oil
  • Foot or flange mounting, cast iron gear cases
  • Wide ratio range: 3.6:1 to 200:1, and up to 10,000:1 in combined units

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gordon Russell a Radicon build centre?

Yes. We are a Radicon build centre for Series M, C, F and K. We stock the modular kits and assemble units to order in our shop, configuring the size, ratio, motor input and mounting for your application.

Can a Series M replace another manufacturer's inline gearmotor?

Usually, yes. Series M is dimensionally interchangeable with the market-leading inline helical gearmotors. Send us the nameplate and a photo of the existing unit and we will confirm the match.

I have an older first-generation Series M. Can it still be supported?

The current second-generation Series M is a drop-in replacement for the first-generation units. Most first-generation parts are no longer made, so the usual fix is a new or rebuilt current-generation unit built to the same footprint.

Can I fit my own motor?

Yes. Series M is available motorised, motor-ready to accept your own NEMA or IEC motor, or as a reducer with a keyed input shaft.

What do you need to quote a Series M?

The nameplate details of the existing unit, or the motor power and frame, input speed, required output speed or ratio, mounting and duty. Photos help.
