SEW-EURODRIVE K97 DRS132S4/AFQ8 is a heavy-duty, high-efficiency three-phase AC helical-bevel right-angle gear motor. This specific configuration combines a high-torque right-angle industrial gearbox with an 8 HP class standard induction motor, engineered for demanding industrial operations like conveyors, material handling, and manufacturing machinery.

• Core Technical SpecificationsGearbox Series: K97 (Helical-Bevel right-angle gear unit designed for wear-free lifetime gearing and high continuous torque).
• Motor Model: DRS132S4 / AFQ8 (4-pole AC asynchronous/induction motor).
• Power Output: 8 HP (Typically rated at 5.5 kW to 6 kW continuous duty depending on utility frequency).
• Input / Motor Speed: 1755 RPM (Standard 4-pole nominal synchronous speed at 60Hz).
• Output / Shaft Speed: 28 RPM after the internal gear reduction.
• Electrical Profile: 460V AC, Three Phase input.
• Enclosure Rating: TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) built for dusty or damp industrial environments. [1, 2, 3]

• Component AnalysisK97 Right-Angle Gearbox: The "K" series uses high-efficiency (>90%) multi-stage bevel gearing. It delivers high continuous output torque (often exceeding 25,000+ in-lbs depending on exact internal ratios) and has a heavy-duty cast iron housing. [1, 2]
• DRS132S4 Motor Base: A standard 132-frame surface-cooled AC motor. The DRS series serves as a reliable, highly modular workhorse standard across global industrial automation layouts. [1, 2, 3]
• AFQ8 Designation: Refers to specific integrated options attached to the motor block, such as an air-forced cooling fa

The SEW-EURODRIVE gear motor model K97 DRS132S4/AFQ8 is a robust helical-bevel right-angle gear motor designed for industrial applications. It features a powerful 8.3 HP (or 7.5 HP under certain conditions) motor, providing exceptional performance in demanding environments. The unit operates at an input speed of 1755 RPM, with a highly efficient internal gear reduction achieving an output speed of just 28 RPM, ideal for applications requiring high torque at low speeds. This gear motor includes a K97 right-angle helical-bevel gearbox, renowned for its efficiency exceeding 90% and substantial torque capacity. The motor is equipped with a DRS132S4, a standard four-pole AC induction motor with a 132-s frame size, suitable for 460V three-phase AC power at 60 Hz. Additionally, it features an AFQ8 industrial connector for easy electrical connections. Typical applications for this gear motor include heavy-duty material handling, such as conveyor systems, as well as large mixing or blending operations. The unit’s design is also well-suited for use in industrial water pumps, hoist drives, and packaging machinery. Built with a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure, this gear motor is protected against harsh environments, ensuring durability and reliability in various industrial settings.
