UGD Universal Gear Drive
UGD Universal Gear Drive transforms mechanical motion from the UAM to a variety of flanged attachments.
The UGD Universal Gear Drive is a versatile transmission unit designed to transfer mechanical motion from the UAM Universal Motor Drive to a range of compatible Pharmag pilot plant attachments. By reducing speed and increasing torque, it enables controlled operation of equipment that requires lower rotational speeds and higher driving force.
The UGD is an essential interface for selected Pharmag attachments, including powder blenders, mini ball mills, pelletizers, and coating pans. Its adjustable-angle design also helps operators position equipment for practical operation, product discharge, cleaning, and maintenance.
Key Features
- Universal gear drive for connection to the UAM Universal Motor Drive
- Transfers mechanical power to compatible flanged Pharmag attachments
- 10:1 gear reduction ratio
- Reduces rotational speed while increasing torque by a factor of ten
- Adjustable operating angle across an approximately 90° range
- Designed to maintain clear visibility of the process during operation
- Compact and practical construction
- Easy attachment handling for operation, service, and maintenance
Compatible Applications
The UGD is designed for use with a variety of Pharmag pilot plant attachments, including:
- Cube blenders
- Double cone blenders
- V-blenders
- Mini ball mills
- Pelletizers
- Coating pans
Operational Benefits
By reducing speed and increasing available torque, the UGD enables stable and controlled processing for applications such as blending, tumbling milling, pelletizing, and coating. Its adjustable-angle function supports flexible equipment positioning and can simplify product discharge, cleaning, and servicing.
Unlike configurations where an attachment may obstruct the operator’s view, the UGD is designed to provide clear access and visibility of the ongoing process when mounted at the front of the UAM drive.
Technical Highlights
- Operating-angle range: approximately 90°
- Gear reduction ratio: 1:10
- Output speed range: 5–45 rpm
- Maximum torque when connected to UAM: approximately 60 Nm
- Dimensions: approximately 240 × 160 × 200 mm
- Net weight: approximately 7 kg
The UGD Universal Gear Drive extends the versatility of the Pharmag Pilot Plant System by providing the speed reduction, torque, positioning flexibility, and operational visibility needed for a broad range of processing attachments
