Reducers and gearboxes ensure motor torque is multiplied as needed to drive your conveyors. In heavy-duty environments like mining and quarrying, these units endure high start-up loads along with vibration and shock impacts. Strength and reliability are paramount, but they must also be designed for ease of maintenance and eventually, rebuilding.
Foote-Jones reducers and gearboxes are produced in concentric, worm gear, parallel, and right-angle shaft configurations. Shafts are through-hardened and gears are hobbed after heat treatment for maximum precision and long life.
A wide range of housing dimensions, gear ratios, and shaft sizes ensure there’s a model to suit every application. Their worm gear reducers, in particular, are produced in an extensive variety of configurations. (foote jones line o power)

BACKSTOP
The ratchet and pawl type backstop is
available for in line reducers as a stan-
dard accessory to prevent reversal of
shaft rotation, and may be used as
frequently as needed; it is mounted on
the high speed shaft extension. The
pawls pivot on oilite bearings eliminating
the need for relubricating. The entire
backstop is enclosed in a dust-tight case
suitable for use in dirty atmosphere.
When ordering a reducer with backstop, it is important to
clearly state the required direction of free rotation of the
output shaft when viewing reducer at the low speed end.
Backstop not available when cooling fan is used.
Our Backstops Do Not run in oil.
COOLING FAN
For applications where
mechanical horsepower
requirements exceed reducer
thermal capacities, the
cooling fan provides an
inexpensive way to dissipate
excessive heat. The cooling
fan adds approximately 25% to catalog thermal ratings.
Where additional cooling is needed, a forced feed oil
system with heat exchanger can be furnished -foote jones line o power.

Designed for use with V belt
drive, this accessory allows
mounting of motor above or on
either side of foot mounted
reducer. It is a solution to the
problem of limited floor space.
When standard gear ratios are
combined with cataloged V belt
ratios, output shaft speeds can
be attained to suit virtually any
intermediate design requirement. Standard mounts are
available for 1 HP frame 143T through 75 HP frame 365T -foote jones line o power.
LINE-O-MOTOR ASSEMBLY
This adds a substantial
motor end shelf and high
speed coupling to the basic
Line-O-Power unit. Standard
end shelves are designed
to accept NEMA T-frame

RATING TABLES
FOOTE-JONES gear reducers are designed in
accordance with reliable gear practices. Durability ratings
are published using applicable AGMA standards. Over
100 years of experience and tens of thousands of units
successfully operating in the field attest to the high
industrial quality of FOOTE-JONES gear drives. When
properly selected, installed, and operated, FOOTE-
JONES reducers will provide dependable service at rated
capacity. Horsepower values listed are at input torque
values at output, and allow for efficiency losses. When the
required speed falls between two catalogued speeds of a
certain ratio, interpolate to determine unit rating -foote jones line o power.
SERVICE FACTORS
Published ratings allow 100% overload for infrequent
starting, and for very intermittent overloads. Over 4 starts
per day requires service factoring more than 1.0.
Where the starting torque of the motor exceeds 200%,
use formula below to select the minimum service factor.
SF = Maximum HP (or torque)
min. 2 x Full load running HP (or torque)
Where the service factor in the AGMA application table
exceeds this value, the larger factor is to be used. The
AGMA application service factors as listed on Page 8 are
for normal starting torque motors (NEMA Design B).
Note: The service factors are based on field experience
by the gear industry with average installations, and may
not be applicable in all instances. They are recommended
minimums. The purchaser is to evaluate the service
factors against his experience, and to specify different
service factors where there is sufficient experience, and
all load factors as known -foote jones line o power -foote jones line o power.
Vibratory and impact loads are not covered in the service
factor table and are not covered in the warranty.
When brakes are used with prime movers, the brake
torque may govern the reducer selection as it usually
exceeds normal motor torque.
Any brakes that are used in conjunction with
a reducer must be sized or positioned in such a way so as
to not subject the reducer to loads beyond the catalog
rating.
Reducers are not to be considered fail safe
or self-locking devices. If these features are required, a
properly sized, independent holding device should be
Utilized -foote jones line o power.
THERMAL RATINGS
The thermal horsepower rating is the reducer’s ability to
transmit an actual load continuously without overheating.
If the actual load exceeds the thermal rating, external
cooling is required. A cooling fan, heat exchanger, or a
larger unit may solve the thermal problem.
Normal operating temperature for a gear drive may be
considered to be 100°F rise over ambient, to a maximum
of 200°F oil sump temperature. In many cases the
operating temperature may be lower, because gear ratio
and loading affect the amount of friction and heat. A
suitable temperature gauge should be used to determine
overheating as normal operating temperature feels hot to
the touch -foote jones line o power.
If the speed reducer cannot be located in a
clear and dry area with access to adequate cooling air
supply, then precautions must be taken to avoid the
ingestion of contaminant’s such as water and the
reduction in cooling ability due to exterior contaminant’s.
Adequate thermal horsepower capacity is
important. Destructive damage may occur if a gear drive
builds heat faster than it is dissipated while operating -foote jones line o power.
OVERHUNG LOADS
The overhung load capacity listed in this manual is based
on the least favorable combined conditions of gear load
and direction of external radial load. If combined overhung
and thrust loads are applied simultaneously, consult
factory giving complete application details. Effective
overhung load varies with the type of overhung member.
Service factors must be applied to the actual load values
using K factors and load location factors (LLF) for correct
Application -foote jones line o power.
Formula for Calculating Overhung Load
OHL = HP x 63000 x K x LLF
RPM x Pitch Radius
Overhung Member K Factor
Sprocket 1.00
Spur Pinion 1.25
V-Belt Sheave 1.50
Flat Belt Pulley 2.50
LLF-Load location factors are listed on Page A9.
Catalogued overhung load capacities are calculated at
one shaft diameter distance from the shaft seal. The
center of the overhung load should be located as close to
the shaft seal as possible to get the maximum bearing life.
Careful analysis of the application is important in
selecting the reducer size.
FOOTE-JONES Line-O-Power™ Reducers are designed for
5000 hours minimum L10 bearing life (25000 average
hours). Overhung load capacities are calculated at the
least favorable combination of rating, speed, rotation, and
direction of applied load. If one or more of the above
conditions is favorable, the L10 life and overhung load
rating will increase.
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
Additional bearing life may be expected if the full
catalogued reducer rating is not used. In this case, to
determine the absolute minimum L10 bearing life, divide
the reducer rating by the transmitted horsepower to
find the service factor and read the L10 life from the
chart below.

MOUNTING POSITION
All gear reducers are designed to operate with the base
mounted horizontally unless specified otherwise. Refer all
other special mountings to your FOOTE-JONES Sales
Representative. Modifications to the lubrication system
and seals may be required.
Failure to refer mounting positions other
than Horizontal to the FOOTE-JONES representative,
may result in premature product failure.
Make certain that the power supply is
disconnected before attempting to service or remove any
components. Lock out the power supply and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of power -foote jones line o power.
EFFICIENCIES
The approximate full load efficiencies for normal
operating conditions are listed below. Where efficiency is
critical, consult your FOOTE-JONES Sales Representative
with complete application data for a more precise figure.
Double Reduction 97%
Triple Reducer 95%
Quadruple Reduction 94%
For units with built-in pumps, allow an additional 0.5%.
For units with a fan, allow an additional 0.2%.
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
FOOTE-JONES reducers will perform satisfactorily for the
rating specified on the FOOTE-JONES certified print and
nameplate providing each is properly installed and
operated within the speed and torque limits and other
load and environmental conditions for which it was sold,
and maintained in accordance with the FOOTE-JONES
Maintenance Manuals -foote jones line o power.
Many applications require a speed reducer to have splash
lubrication. Mounting positions other than floor horizontal,
abnormal ambient temperatures, and variable or
multi-speed input may require special lubrication
consideration. Consult the factory giving full application
details to insure correct lubrication.
Hot oil can on reducers cause severe burns.
Use extreme care when removing lubrication plugs and vents.
It is imperative that the drive SYSTEM be free from
critical speeds, torsional and lateral vibratory loads within
the operating speed range, no matter how induced.
Responsibility for the system analysis rests with the
Purchaser.
FOOTE-JONES terms and conditions of
sale shall supersede any catalog or sales bulletin data
and will prevail in any dispute -foote jones line o power.
ENVIRONMENT
The standard reducer is designed to operate in a
protected location with reasonable ventilation, free from
temperature extremes (below -10°F or above 100°F for
significant periods) or severe dust, toxic, explosive, or
other unusual environments. Modifications such as
special seals, heaters, heat exchangers, etc., could be
required for these unusual conditions. Consult your
FOOTE-JONES Sales Representative.
PEOPLE-MOVER APPLICATIONS
Applications requiring speed reducers for
people-mover equipment should not be selected from the
catalog without consulting the factory. Examples:
Passenger or freight elevators, man lifts, escalators, ski
lifts or ski tows. These applications must be referred to the
factory with full application data -foote jones line o power.
SAFETY
For safety, purchaser or user should provide
protective guards over all shaft extensions and any
moving apparatus mounted thereon. The user is
responsible for checking all applicable safety codes in his
area and providing suitable guards. Failure to do so may
result in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment.
STORAGE
All units are coated with a rust-inhibiting oil during the
shop test, and shaft extensions are coated with a
dry-film preservative. This treatment will provide adequate
protection for normal periods during installation. It is
recommended the units be protected during storage, and
periodic inspection is recommended and re-treatment
applied, if necessary.
Long Term Storage – For more positive storage
instructions, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
