Tol-O-Matic 04170000 Float-A-Shaft Gearbox

The Tol-O-Matic 04170000 Float-A-Shaft Gearbox is a shaft-mounted, left-hand rotation reducer from the Float-A-Shaft Standard Gearbox line that delivers a 2.5:1 reduction to transfer rotary power while compensating for shaft misalignment between drive components in industrial power transmission and motion control systems, enabling smoother torque transmission across connected equipment. It uses a journal bearing in the low torque class, with an input bore of 5/8 in and an output bore of 3/4 in, designed for compact installations and straightforward coupling to standard drive shafts and components. The Float-A-Shaft design reduces bearing loads and extends drivetrain life by accommodating angular and parallel misalignment, supporting reliable operation in conveyors, packaging equipment, indexing systems, material handling machinery, and factory automation equipment where misalignment would otherwise cause increased wear. This shaft-mounted gearbox is commonly used for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement of industrial power transmission assemblies, providing a practical option for upgrading or maintaining automated production lines. As part of Tol-O-Matic’s motion control solutions, the 04170000 is designed to integrate with compatible drives and couplings in industrial settings and is representative of the brand’s focus on compact form and misalignment tolerance.
