Radicon gearbox reducers are the electromechanical drive elements that aid in ensuring drive systems are operating efficiently. At Gordon Russell, the Radicon reducers are assembled in house and can be shipped to both Eastern and Western Canada. These reducers are built to withstand tough day-to-day applications in industrial and marine industries. With its’ main purpose of action as power transmission equipment, the reducer is used to bring down the speed of the motor power while also increasing its torque.

With completely machined gears, Radicon allows for several different mounting positions to suit a wide variety of applications. The continuous and efficient running and load bearing capacity of the  Radicon gearbox reducers along with superior tooth design results in optimal gear performance. The tooth design optimizes line to line contact between the revolving surfaces, again aiding in better gear motor performance.
