SS241G5

The Danaher SS241G5 gearmotor is a precision-driven solution in the Slo-Syn Synchronous Motors series by Danaher, engineered for applications demanding controlled low-speed motion and high torque. This synchronous gearmotor belongs to the SS Series Synchronous Gearmotor (Superior Electric SLO-SYN) family and features a 5:1 gear ratio to provide mechanical advantage in compact installations. At 60 Hz, the SS241G5 achieves an operating speed of 14.4 rpm, while at 50 Hz it delivers 12 rpm, ensuring consistent performance across regional power standards. Powered by 120 VAC as standard—with options available for 120/240 V configurations—this unit integrates seamlessly into existing AC supply systems. The motor’s minimum running torque of 1,056 oz-in (approximately 746 N×cm) supports stable positioning even under variable load conditions.

Performance characteristics of the SS241G5 emphasize predictable response and robust mechanical interaction. The motor supports a maximum rigidly attached load inertia of 55 lb-in² (approximately 160 kg×cm²), enabling it to handle substantial inertia without sacrificing control. Its synchronous operation ensures virtually zero slip between motor and driven component, delivering repeatable timing for indexing and positioning applications. The high-precision construction of the internal gearing minimizes backlash and maximizes torque transmission efficiency. AC input is regulated via built-in windings designed for 120 VAC operation, with optional dual-voltage windings accommodating 120/240 V supplies. The low-speed output shafts run at 12 rpm or 14.4 rpm depending on line frequency, resulting in quiet operation and reduced wear at rated speeds.

Designed for continuous duty in industrial automation environments, the SS241G5 offers long service intervals and minimal maintenance requirements. The self-lubricating gears resist abrasion and extend operational life in conveyor systems, machine tools, and robotic positioning equipment. Integration is simplified by standard mounting flanges and standardized shaft dimensions, making retrofits and new designs straightforward. With consistent torque delivery of 1,056 oz-in and synchronous timing, the SS241G5 is ideal for indexing tables, packaging machinery, and other precision motion control applications. Its durability and versatility establish it as a cost-effective, reliable component for manufacturers seeking dependable performance under continuous load.
