These gear reducers are recommended for conveyors and conveying equipment, packaging machinery, food processing, bottling equipment and bulk material handling.

They may be mounted with foot mounting or flange mounting to interchange with major competitors. They also have shaft input, C-frame quill input or gearmotor assemblies to provide the complete drive package.

They also have rugged cast iron housings that are accurately machined for precision operation, high strength and reliability.

Hub City Poweratio reducers are also built with precision crowned gears for smooth operation, high strength and durability. Their alloy steel shafts are plunge ground for accuracy and fine surface finish. They are built with ball and tapered roller bearings that are generously sized for long life and high reliability. Design and construction details include double lip seals on exposed shafts for enhanced protection and dependable sealing with single lip seals on motor quill input for cooler running.

One significant advantage of these Hub City reducers is the flexibility of their available configurations.
