SEW-EURODRIVE’s AMS adapter has always played a significant role in their product range, according to SEW-EURODRIVE’s head of engineering. However, more recently it received an upgrade with refinements that make it even more valuable to end-users.
Effective care and maintenance are crucial to prolonging the lifespan of any gear unit, including adhering to OEM operating instructions and only using genuine parts and spares when possible.
Sew Eurodrive Gearbox Repairs
SEW Eurodrive offers an expansive product portfolio, from industrial gear units and frequency inverters, servo drives, motors, drive systems, control technology operator terminals and industrial communications/interfaces to operator terminals and industrial communications/interfaces. Each of their products are built for use under harsh working conditions while facing any possible challenges associated with any one or more factors.
Recently, they moved into a large new plant which allows lean assembly of standard product and increased central warehousing capacity – giving them a competitive edge to efficiently meet Africa’s increasing demand.
The K-Series helical-bevel gearmotor delivers high torque density and efficiency in a compact package, while also eliminating frictional heat generated by worm gearing to save energy loss, using lower rolling friction of helical bevel gears for durability and exceptional longevity. Available in various configurations to meet various shaft designs.

A well-oiled gearbox can offer impressive longevity in even the harshest of environments, while cutting energy costs and improving productivity. Unfortunately, an improper or damaged lubricant choice can have devastating results on performance and significantly shorten its lifespan.
In 1999, SEW Eurodrive’s management team explored automation as a solution for offloading tedious work tasks from employees onto machines, creating a healthier work environment characterized by five-day workweeks and weekends dedicated to family.
The new facility of Aeroton-based company allows lean assembly of standard products, featuring an expansive storage area equipped with computer controlled stock enabling quick despatch orders. Furthermore, their new head office offers a large industrial gear repair facility capable of accommodating heavy equipment repairs.
Sew Eurodrive Gearbox Rebuilding
Sew Eurodrive planetary gear units are highly efficient and cost-effective solutions, cutting operating and maintenance expenses while increasing plant productivity, safety, and productivity.
These motors are specially designed for use in hazardous environments that contain gases, air/dust mixtures and water. Each comes equipped with an integral running capacitor for maximum reliability in various power supply systems around the world; meeting all required standards such as ATEX, IECEx and HazLoc-NA certification.
The MC series helical gearmotor offers high torque density in eight compact sizes. Its unique helical-worm gearing is more reliable and energy efficient than traditional right-angle worm drives, permitting for larger ratios without increasing total output torque.
Sew Eurodrive Gearbox Refurbishment
SEW Eurodrive has recently relocated to a purpose-built plant which houses production, Service and central warehousing but also serves as an open house for customers. This new facility was specifically created to facilitate assembly of industrial gears and VSDs as well as Servo motor technology.
K-Series helical-bevel gearmotors boast 95%+ efficiency and an exceptional torque density, making them suitable for materials handling and intralogistics applications with their long operating lives and hygienic properties, ensuring they can withstand intensive cleaning processes without becoming damaged by regular cleaning operations.
SEW-Eurodrive’s explosion-proof AC motors come in 13 sizes, designed specifically to work in environments containing explosive air/gas or dust mixtures. Ideal applications include mining, conveyors, power generation and material handling – SEW Eurodrive can even customise them to your application and environment needs!
Sew Eurodrive Gearbox Reconditioning
The new facility features assembly plants for industrial gear drives and VSDs, a central warehouse for stock, expanded training facilities and multiple mechanical, electrical and mechatronic engineers to address technical enquiries.
The Johannesburg facility is expected to assemble customized M1 units within two to three weeks of an order being placed, significantly shortening the long importation lead times associated with these types of products. Furthermore, complete mill drive solutions including power packs will be assembled and delivered within this same timeframe.
Effective care and maintenance are crucial in prolonging a gear unit’s lifespan, such as changing out its lubricant regularly to ensure it functions according to OEM operating instructions and standard. This will enable maximum performance, efficiency and reliability from drives.
