ABSTRACT:
A universal mount housing construction for parallel offset gearboxes that includes a generally cubic-shaped cast housing member having an input opening in a first side for receiving a rotational power input, and an output opening in a second side for transmitting a rotational power output through a hollow or solid output shaft. Two plate-shaped housing extensions are integrated into the cast housing member and provide a pair of integrated torque arms. Each of the integrated housing extensions have a machined planar surface oriented perpendicular to the central axis of the output opening, and a through-bore extending through the machined surface. A raised ring surface extends around the output opening and has a machined planar surface which is coplanar with the machined planar surfaces of the integrated housing extensions. The raised ring surface has tapped holes spaced about its circumference for flange mounting. Two parallel raised machined surfaces with tapped holes are formed on the sides of the cast housing member and are oriented parallel to the central axis of the output opening to permit a versatile housing mount arrangement.
