CASE CARBURIZED & GROUND GEARING

High precision carburized gearing with a 25° pressure
angle offers a thicker dedendum and higher strength
ratings than the typical 20° pressure angle.

SPLIT HOUSING

Standard in large frame sizes to allow
easy maintenance. Available in
standard gray cast iron with ductile
and fabricated steel options.

TACONITE SEAL

This option features a dual-layer
oil and grease system.

HOUSING

Rugged, shock-resistant cast iron housing.
Optional ductile iron housing also available.

OPTIONAL TACONITE
SEAL ASSEMBLY

Heavy-Duty, fortified, grease purgeable
system withstands the most demanding
applications.

SLOW SPEED SHAFT

TIER 1 SUPPLIER
ROLLER BEARING

High capacity bearings increase load capacity without
increasing lead-time. Tapered, double-row spherical, or
cylindrical roller bearings depending on size and configuration.

HIGH TENSILE SHAFT

Strong shaft material optimized
for extended operation in rugged
environments.

CYCLO® DISC

All rotating components are fully hardened, vacuum
degassed bearing-grade steel, for consistent, reliable performance.

UniMiner Features

PARAMAX® GEARING
Precision carburized and ground gearing delivers high capacity, optimum efficiency and quiet operation.
RUGGED HOUSING
Designed to support and transfer the gear, shaft, and bearing loads while accommodating large frame motors and flexible or fluid coupling arrangements.
FLIPPABLE HOUSING
Housing includes both a top and bottom inspection cover to allow for changing the shaft assembly on-site without disassembly. Relocating the breather and oil level glass are the only modifications required by the gearbox.
HIGH SPEED SHAFT
Fully carburized shaft projection increases the shaft projection hardness and strength. Optimized projection length minimizes overhung (radial) loads due to heavy hydrodynamic fluid coupling weights.
MOTOR LANTERN
Heavy-duty fabrication suitable for flexible or hydrodynamic fluid couplings.

Paramax® UniMiner

Heavy-Duty Conveyor Drives Featuring an Economical Flippable Housing Design
The Paramax® UniMiner is built on the reliable existing product
platform and incorporates a new housing design that can
reduce product inventories when both left and right
handed assemblies are required.
Paramax® gearboxes are compact and battle-tested in mining
and other heavy-duty applications. They excel in all types of
bulk material handling applications and provide long and
trouble-free operation.
Paramax® UniMiner can be a direct drop-in to most other
alignment-free, shaft mounted drive packages.

Retro-Fits

Match Existing Footprint
A custom transition base will position the new low-speed shaft to be in the EXACT same position as the original low-speed shaft. Our retrofits provide an excellent balance between the cost savings of a standard gearbox and the
benefits of minimal on-site modifications.
Typically, only relocating the motor mount is required for this
option. We offer motor mounting options to help minimize
the impact of relocating the motor mount, such as
flanged motor adapter for c-face or d-flange motors.
Options might include a special low-speed shaft
diameter or length and motor lantern.
The red circles in the diagram represent the existing
bolt pattern of a customer’s unit. The transition base is
fabricated to match the height, ensuring alignment of
the low-speed shaft to the machine shaft.
Retro-Fit units with transition bases allow us
to match your existing footprint for an easier
upgraded installation.
