Offer lightweight models with aluminum body at gearhead case

■FAS
Now Available for Order and Shipping
■GAL/AGAL
Orders: Now Open
Shipping Starts: July 2026 (Scheduled)

Designed for Reduced Weight and Easy Integration.
Switching to aluminum gearhead cases reduces weight by approx. 20 to 37%.
These models help lighten mounting frames and simplify equipment structures for conveyors, lifts, and other large pieces of machinery in particular. They also ease mounting work and enhance the freedom of equipment design.
Now available in G3L type 55 frame and FS type 55 frame for greater design flexiblity.

Models to be converted to aluminum: FAS55 frame

Contributions to the SDGs

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Switching to aluminum materials is expected to reduce CO2 emissions during part manufacturing processes.

Improve packaging

Some wooden crates can be replaced with reinforced cardboard boxes.
This helps to simplify disposal and to ease handling.

Contributions to the SDGs

Reducing gearmotor and reducer weight improves workability as well as equipment structures.

Eases and speeds up assembly work

Eases and speeds up assembly work

Helps reduce the level of difficulty and danger for gearmotor mounting and removal in high places, and increases work speeds.

Reduces equipment weight and simplifies structures

Reducing gearmotor and reducer weight are also expected to simplify the frame and housing structures of the mating equipment, thereby further lightening the entire piece of equipment and increasing the freedom of equipment design.

Q. Will the mounting dimensions or basic performance change when switching to the aluminum case?

A. No. The mounting dimensions and basic performance remain identical to the conventional steel models.
Note: The external housing shape and appearance may vary depending on the model. Please refer to the details below.

● Replacing FS with FAS
Identical to the conventional models, including external dimensions and shape.

● Replacing G3L / AG3L with GAL/ AGAL
The mounting dimensions and basic performance remain identical. However, some changes have been made to the external dimensions and shape.

For detailed specifications, please refer to the outline drawings for each product.
