BONFIGLIOLI C212 F P90 VV i 9.6 with UIKER TR90L4-Ferag Motor
The BONFIGLIOLI C212 F P90 VV gearbox with ratio i=9.6 is paired with a UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor to form an integrated drive assembly. The C212 size belongs to the Bonfiglioli C series of gear reducers. The F and P90 VV codes define the shaft, flange, and mounting details, while the 9.6 ratio provides a moderate speed reduction. The UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor is a frame 90 three phase unit. This assembly is suitable for conveyors, packaging equipment, and general industrial machinery.
Product Overview
The C series includes gear reducers designed for industrial duty with robust housings and precise gear manufacturing. The C212 size is a compact unit suitable for light to medium duty applications. The P90 input flange allows a matching motor to be mounted to the reducer. The 9.6 ratio provides a moderate reduction, which is useful when the driven equipment requires a lower output speed and increased torque compared with direct drive.
The UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor is a three phase asynchronous motor built on the frame 90 size. The four pole configuration produces a moderate speed suitable for many general applications. The motor and reducer are matched to form a compact assembly that simplifies installation and alignment.
Construction and Design
The gearbox housing supports the gear stages and bearings with sufficient rigidity for stable mesh. The gear stages are manufactured to precise tolerances to provide smooth rotation and efficient torque transfer. The P90 input flange is machined for precise motor mounting. The output shaft is machined to accept couplings, pulleys, sprockets, or other driven components.
The UIKER motor housing supports the stator, rotor, bearings, and shaft. The stator windings are insulated for industrial operation. The rotor is mounted on a shaft supported by bearings selected for the expected loads. The fan and fan cover provide cooling airflow over the housing. The terminal box provides a safe connection point for the electrical supply.
Performance Characteristics
The 9.6 ratio determines the output speed by dividing the motor speed by 9.6. The output torque depends on the motor power, gearbox efficiency, and service factor. The gearbox provides smooth torque transfer and reliable operation when matched to the load. The P90 interface allows the reducer to be paired with the UIKER motor for a complete drive assembly.
The integrated drive should be selected with an appropriate service factor for the duty cycle. Starting loads, shock loads, and continuous operation affect the thermal and mechanical capacity of the assembly. The motor should be protected against overload and abnormal supply conditions. The reducer should be checked for thermal capacity when operating at high duty cycles or high ambient temperatures.
Applications
The Bonfiglioli C212 F P90 VV with UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor is suitable for belt conveyors, roller conveyors, packaging machines, labeling equipment, and general industrial drives. The 9.6 ratio provides a moderate speed reduction suitable for many light and medium duty applications. The compact assembly is useful in machines where space is limited.
The motor can be connected to standard industrial supply arrangements according to the nameplate rating. The geared drive can be used in applications that require frequent starting and stopping, provided that the duty cycle and thermal capacity are considered.
Installation Guidelines
Installation should begin with a check of the nameplate data and a visual inspection of the assembly. The geared motor should be mounted on a rigid base that can withstand the torque reaction. Mounting bolts should be tightened to the recommended torque. The motor should be connected according to the terminal diagram for the available supply voltage. The output shaft should be aligned with the driven equipment to avoid excessive radial and axial loads.
After installation, the assembly should be checked for smooth rotation and correct oil level in the reducer. A short run without load helps confirm that the motor and gearbox operate correctly. The direction of rotation should be verified before connecting the load.
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular maintenance supports reliable performance and long service life. The motor cooling fan and fan cover should be kept clean. The reducer oil level and oil condition should be checked at recommended intervals. Seals and bearings should be inspected periodically. Leakage, abnormal noise, or vibration should be addressed promptly. Electrical connections should be checked for tightness and signs of overheating.
The exterior of the motor and gearbox should be kept clean to support heat dissipation. Adequate airflow around the assembly helps maintain stable temperatures. In dusty or humid environments, additional protection may be needed.
Selection Considerations
When selecting the C212 F P90 VV with UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor, engineers should confirm the supply voltage, frequency, motor power, output speed, output torque, duty cycle, and environmental conditions. The 9.6 ratio and motor speed determine the output speed. The available torque depends on motor power and gearbox efficiency. A service factor should be applied for starting loads, shock loads, and continuous operation.
The motor and gearbox interfaces must match. The mounting arrangement should suit the machine layout and provide adequate support. The output shaft and mounting features should match the driven equipment.
Conclusion
The BONFIGLIOLI C212 F P90 VV i 9.6 gearbox with UIKER TR90L4-Ferag motor offers a compact integrated drive solution with moderate reduction and reliable torque transmission. Its construction supports dependable performance in conveyors, packaging equipment, and industrial machinery. With correct installation and maintenance, the assembly provides stable performance and long service life.
