Abstract

A geared motor series includes several motors with different dimensions, which respectively have a motor shaft with a receiving bore on the free end thereof. The nominal outer diameters of the motor shafts of the individual motor dimensions are different from each other. At least one plug-in pinion having a pinion journal is provided with a nominal outer diameter corresponding to the nominal diameter of one of the receiving bores, such that the push-in pinion is fixable to the corresponding motor shaft using a press assembly. The nominal diameter of a receiving bore of a motor shaft of a motor of a first motor dimension corresponds to the nominal diameter of a receiving bore of a motor shaft of a motor of at least one other motor dimension, such that the at least one push-in pinion is fixable to motor shafts of motors having different dimensions using a press assembly.

Claims (5)

1. A geared motor series, comprising:

a plurality of motors with different dimensions, each said motor including a motor shaft defined by a nominal external diameter and having a receiving bore of a nominal diameter on a free end, wherein the nominal external diameters of the motor shafts are different from each other, while the nominal diameters of the receiving bores of at least two of the motor shafts having different external nominal diameters match each other; and

at least one plug-in pinion having a pinion journal defined by a nominal external diameter matching the nominal diameter of the receiving bores with the matching nominal diameters, such that the same plug-in pinion is fixable to a corresponding one of the motor shafts by introducing its same pinion journal into the receiving bore of any of the motor shafts having different nominal external diameters and using a press assembly.

2. The geared motor series of claim 1 , wherein the pinion journal has a nominal external diameter dimensioned to ensure a shaft strength for transmission of a required torque.

3. The geared motor series of claim 1 , wherein the nominal diameters of the receiving bores of the at least two of the motor shafts having different external nominal diameters are equal to each other, and the nominal external diameter of the pinion journal is equal to the equal nominal diameters of the receiving bores of the at least two of the motor shafts having different external nominal diameters.
