Design and Performance
90° Output Shaft Orientation for Space-Constrained Layouts
Unlike the parallel shaft GN series, the right-angle GU gearhead redirects the output shaft 90° relative to the motor shaft, enabling compact machine layouts where a right-angle drive configuration is required.
Highest-Ratio Speed Reduction in the 5GU Family
With a 180:1 gear ratio, the 5GU180K delivers the greatest speed reduction and highest torque multiplication within the 5GU right-angle gearhead range, suiting applications requiring the slowest, highest-torque right-angle output.
Important Non-Self-Locking Design Consideration
Unlike most worm gear mechanisms, this right-angle gear does not have self-locking capabilities, meaning external load can potentially back-drive the output shaft — an important design factor to account for in vertical or holding-load applications.
Direct Compatibility with the 5IK Motor Frame (GU Pinion)
Designed to mate with 5IK Series induction motors fitted with the GU pinion type, the 5GU180K assembles directly onto the motor for a compact, unified right-angle motor-gearhead unit.
Long-Rated Service Life
As part of Oriental Motor’s right-angle gearhead range, the 5GU180K supports long-term, low-maintenance operation in continuous-duty industrial applications.
