Drive technology & mechanics

Motors, gearboxes, bearings and couplings are defined by their technical data and installation conditions. In addition to the manufacturer and type designation, the relevant details depend on the product and include power, speed, gear ratio, mounting arrangement and connection dimensions.

For electric motors and geared motors, the nameplate data on rated voltage and frequency, connection, rated current, degree of protection, thermal class, efficiency class and any brake or encoder also help. For mechanical components, dimensions, material and version can be decisive.

Product families

These product families are listed on Traydon’s previous website. They are intended as guidance; whether a specific version can be sourced is clarified for each request.

  • Ball bearings and rod ends
  • Ball screws and spindles
  • Couplings
  • Seals
  • Gearboxes
  • Timing belts and timing belt pulleys
  • Electric motors

The condition of goods (new, used, reconditioned or compatible replacement) and their origin are stated per item in the quotation.

Typical applications

For guidance only, not as a statement of suitability:

  • Replacing worn bearings, couplings and belt drives
  • Replacing motors and gearboxes in existing plants
  • Components for linear axes and feed drives

What we need for a request

The more complete the details, the more clearly the required version can be identified. Not every detail is available for every part – send whatever you have.

DetailWhat it is used for

Documents, photos and nameplate

  • Photo of the motor or gearbox nameplate
  • Photo of the marking on the bearing or coupling
  • Dimensioned sketch or drawing for mechanical parts
  • Required quantity

How your request is handled

  1. Send your requirement: provide a part number, a photo of the nameplate, a drawing or a parts list.
  2. Clarification of details and sourcing options: we review your information and get back to you if anything is unclear.
  3. Response and, where applicable, a quotation: you receive a response to your request. A request is not an order.

We do not quote general processing or delivery times. Dates are agreed for each individual request.

What we do not promise across the board

  • Interchangeability with motors or gearboxes from other manufacturers without a technical review.
  • Design or recalculation of drives.
  • Deliveries abroad are subject to review under export control and sanctions regulations.

Installation, on-site replacement and commissioning are available on request.

Frequently asked questions

Which details identify a geared motor?

Manufacturer, full type designation and the nameplate data of the motor and gearbox: power, speeds, gear ratio, mounting arrangement, voltage, frequency, connection, degree of protection, and brake or encoder if fitted.

Which dimensions matter for a coupling?

Bore diameter and keyway of both shafts, size, installation length and the torque to be transmitted. When replacing an existing coupling, the manufacturer’s designation helps.

How do I indicate that an alternative would also be acceptable?

In the request form, select “An alternative may be offered” for the item and state the properties that must be retained. Without this information, we request the version you specified.

Where can I find information on a specific delivery date?

Delivery dates depend on the version, the source of supply and the quantity. They are stated in the quotation or in the response to the respective request, not as a general figure on this website.
