Solutions for Hygienic, Sterile, and Washdown Applications

HR Series – Washdown, Food Grade and Hygienic Environments

Food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics equipment builders compete on their ability to deliver more innovative processing and packaging, with higher throughput and less downtime. Strict hygiene regulations require equipment to be cleaned often with water, steam and harsh chemicals that can quickly destroy ordinary machine components. These operating conditions pose challenges for gear reducer manufacturers and we are up to the task. Nidec Drive Technology is now offering the HR Planetary Series designed to meet the needs of these challenging environments.

HRV Series – Hygienic and Sterile Production

For motion control applications in hygienic and sterile production environments, Nidec Drive Technology offers products with optimal geometry and cleanability. The HRV inline Planetary Series features 316L stainless construction, allowing for direct integration into equipment and eliminating the need for protective covers. Smooth and rounded edges prevent bacteria growth and other contamination. IP69K rating along with high temperature seals and O-rings enable efficient, high-pressure cleaning with water, steam or caustic chemicals. A laser etched nameplate ensures traceability after several years of operation. The HRV is designed to mount seamless to stainless steel servomotors with B14 style output flanges.

HRV Features

  • Frame sizes 070, 090, 120
  • Ratios 3:1 – 100:1
  • Backlash from ≤8 to ≤14 arc-min
  • Hygienic 316L stainless steel construction and smooth rounded surfaces with Ra value <0.8 μm
  • IP69K Ingress Protection with FDA approved Viton seals
  • NSF H1 Synthetic Food Grade Grease
  • Certified FDA, NSF, EHEDG, 3A Mounting for stainless servomotors with B14 flanges such as Allen-Bradley VPH/VPS/MPS, Kollmorgen AKMH/AKMA, Beckhoff AM880, Yaskawa M5, Siemens S-1FS2 and others
  • Maximum corrosion protection and cleanability

HRL Series – Demanding Washdown Requirements

The HRL Series from Nidec Drive Technology is a planetary product that excels in corrosive, high pressure washdown environments. Made completely from 303 grade austenitic stainless steel, HRL is a safe solution for servo drive systems close to or fully integrated in the process. A seamless, single piece housing helps reduce build-up of bacteria while its IP66 rating allows for high pressure cleaning with water, steam or caustic chemicals. HRL has flexible adaptation to standard B5 style servomotors as well as B14 style stainless servomotors. Available in three sizes and a complete range of reduction ratios, HRL is a robust, reliable, maintenance-free solution allowing our customers to reduce risk and increase productivity.

HRL Features

  • Frame sizes 070, 090, 120
  • Ratios from 3:1 – 100:1
  • Backlash from ≤6 to ≤14 arc-min
  • All-stainless construction
  • IP66 Ingress Protection with Viton seals
  • NSF H1 Synthetic Food Grade Grease
  • Mounting for standard servomotors with B5 flanges or stainless servomotors with B14 flanges Cost-effective solution for highly corrosive environments with demanding washdown regimens
