F Series Parallel-Shaft Geared Motor
Compatible with SEW F, Bonfiglioli F & Rossi F series
Parallel-shaft helical geared motor series for high-torque applications where axial space is limited.
Overview
Parallel-shaft helical geared motor series for high-torque applications where axial space is limited. The series is engineered for modular industrial geared motors applications and can be configured for standard or customized delivery based on operating parameters.
Key features
- Modular construction with multiple mounting options
- Hardened-tooth gearing (per series)
- Multiple input and output configurations
- Motor matching available per application
- OEM nameplate on confirmed scope
- Non-standard configuration subject to technical review
Why this series
The CHINFAR F Series Parallel Shaft Helical Gear Unit is intended for compact drives where axial space or machine layout favors a parallel-shaft arrangement. The series is organized around standardized size, ratio, motor-interface and mounting combinations so that engineers can move from a machine requirement to a configuration rather than selecting by model name alone.
| Item | F Series |
|---|---|
| Gear unit type | Parallel Shaft Helical Gear Unit |
| Shaft arrangement | Parallel Shaft |
| Size range | F37–F167 |
| Reference power range | 0.12–200 kW |
| Reference ratio range | 3.70–281.71 |
| Reference maximum torque range | 200–32000 Nm |
Engineering note: published ranges describe the cleaned reference envelope of the series. The final selectable power, ratio, torque, motor interface and mounting arrangement depend on the exact configuration.
Where the F Series fits
The F Series is typically considered when the machine requires a parallel-shaft arrangement. Common application categories include belt and chain conveyors, material handling systems, process machinery, compact equipment layouts, and shaft-mounted drive arrangements. Final selection should always be based on duty, ratio, torque, mounting position, shaft/interface requirements and service factor.
Key design characteristics
- Slim parallel-shaft layout
- Hollow-shaft and flange variants
- Useful for conveyors and space-constrained machinery
- Multiple output-interface options
The F Series is generally not the first choice when a true inline shaft arrangement or a 90-degree output is required. In those cases, compare the R, F, K and S architectures before fixing the gearbox family.
Available configuration families
- F — Basic Parallel Shaft
- FA — Hollow Shaft
- FF — Output Flange
- FAF — Hollow Shaft + Flange
- FAZ/FAB/FH/FHF/FHZ/FHB — Extended Variants
Different variants can share a size designation while using different output interfaces. For replacement work, the complete configuration code and installation drawing are more important than the base size alone.
How to select a F Series gear unit
- Confirm motor or input power and actual input speed.
- Define the target output speed or required transmission ratio.
- Calculate the required output torque and apply the duty/service factor.
- Select the shaft arrangement and mounting configuration.
- Confirm the motor frame and input interface.
- Check radial/axial loads where the driven machine imposes external shaft loads.
- For replacement projects, verify mounting dimensions against the existing gearbox drawing before declaring direct replacement.

Data quality and engineering use
CHINFAR maintains structured performance and interface data for this series. Detailed selection rows combine power, motor pole count, ratio, output speed, output torque and service factor. Installation dimensions should be re-checked against the target machine or existing gearbox whenever a direct replacement claim is required.
