Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the specifications and guidelines for Viking Offset and In-Line Gear Reducers, detailing their features, applications, and selection criteria.
Offset Gear Reducers:
  • Available in three sizes with multiple gear ratios.
  • Features include hardened steel pinion and gear, precision ball bearings, and interchangeable ratios.
  • Adaptable to various input shaft center heights, aligning with Viking pumps' output shaft heights.
In-Line Gear Reducers:
  • Available in eleven sizes with double reduction ratios.
  • Mounting options include solid and hollow input shafts with NEMA C or IEC flange mounts.
  • Compact design ensures high efficiency and low noise levels.
Service Factors and Load Classifications:
  • Service factors depend on power source, load classification (uniform, moderate shock, heavy shock), and operation duration (intermittent, 8-10 hours, 24 hours per day).
  • Specific service factors are provided for electric motors, steam turbines, hydraulic motors, and multi-cylinder internal combustion engines.
Selection Guidelines:
  1. Determine actual horsepower requirements from the pump curve or equipment specifications.
  2. Calculate equivalent horsepower using the appropriate service factor.
  3. Select a reducer from the horsepower tables that matches speed requirements and ensure it meets the maximum recommended horsepower.
  4. Choose the correct reducer bracket for the driven load’s shaft height.
  5. Verify that the shaft center height falls within the specified range using the standard Viking mounting bracket.
Specifications and Dimensions:
  • Detailed tables provide dimensions for various sizes of gear reducers, including input and output shaft specifications.
  • Motor mounts are specified for NEMA and IEC standards, with dimensions provided for reference.
Key Considerations:
  • Use of belt or chain drives is not recommended for reducer input or output shafts.
  • Sizes 11-41 come factory-filled with synthetic lubricant and are maintenance-free.
