Why choose RAN Series right-angle gearboxes?

The right-angle gearboxes of the RAN series represent the solution of excellence for all industrial applications requiring a 90-degree motion transmission. Designed by Bonfiglioli to ensure maximum reliability, these components are ideal for construction layouts where space is a critical factor.

RAN series products are designed for transmissions with right-angle layouts. Thanks to their robustness, they are easy to install and virtually maintenance-free, offering unparalleled operational value over time. The RAN series offers multiple shaft arrangements and a wide choice of reduction ratios, in addition to the traditional 1:1, which are very useful in the design of synchronized drive systems. Furthermore, for specific requirements, the range is also available in a version for screw jack duty cycles.

Key advantages of the RAN Series

Choosing a RAN right-angle gearbox means focusing on a consolidated yet extremely flexible technology. Among the main advantages that make this product a cost-effective investment, we find:

• Simple to integrate: Thanks to the multiple mounting configurations.

• Simple to maintain: Reducing machine downtime and management costs.

• High positioning precision: Essential for high-quality automation.

• Minimization of mounting space: Compact design for every need.

This combination of features ensures smooth integration into any type of plant, always guaranteeing an effective and precise motion transmission.

Configurations and Technical Options

The versatility of the RAN right-angle gearbox is demonstrated in the numerous options available, making every installation a professional and tailor-made project. Depending on the size chosen, Bonfiglioli offers differentiated lubrication solutions: we find life lubrication for sizes from 8 to 25 and from 1 to 2R, while for larger sizes (from 28 to 48) the gearbox is sold without oil to allow for personalized fluid management.

For environments with high temperatures or critical conditions, fluoroelastomer seals are available. Regarding the output, the designer can opt for a single or double shaft configuration, or for the hollow shaft configuration, guaranteeing maximum freedom of action.

Motorizations and input flexibility

A strength of the RAN right-angle gearbox is its ability to interface with various power sources. It is possible to have a solid shaft input or an electric motor input, supporting various technologies:

• BN, BE, BX: Asynchronous motors with standard IEC interface.

• BSR: Reluctance motor for those seeking high efficiency.

• BS: Single-phase motor for specific applications.

To optimize performance, motor options can be added, such as thermistors and temperature sensors, independent forced ventilation, or incremental encoders (sin/cos, single or multi-turn). For installations in difficult climates, tropicalization and anti-condensation heaters are also provided.

3D model visualization of the RAN gearbox

As with our other ranges, we offer the possibility to access the 3D model visualization of the gearbox. In this case as well, there is a unique model per type, included strictly for illustrative purposes.

This resource allows for the observation of the RAN right-angle gearbox design from every angle directly from the browser. It is a useful support for understanding the aesthetic and structural conformation of the component, even though it is not intended for precision dimensional checks in CAD projects. Viewing the simplified 3D model helps to immediately identify the most suitable RAN Series solution for your conceptual scheme.
