Among these, INV – Use for Inverter is an option for motors used with variable frequency drives. If the system requires speed adjustment via an inverter, it is recommended to select the correct motor option and verify operating conditions before confirming the model.
DR-Series DSK Power Range
The DR-Series DSK features various motor power ratings, including:
0.4kW, 0.75kW, 1.5kW, 2.2kW, 3.7kW, 5.5kW, 7.5kW, 11kW, 15kW, 18.5kW, 22kW, 30kW, 37kW, 45kW, 55kW, 75kW, 90kW, 110kW, 132kW, 160kW.
The DR-Series specification table provides data such as motor capacity, type, ratio, output speed, output torque, service factor, and overhung load for both 60Hz and 50Hz. When selecting a model, it is necessary to specify the operating frequency to ensure the correct parameters are referenced.
How to Select the Appropriate DR-Series DSK
To select the correct DR-Series model, it is necessary to determine the complete operating data of the system. One should not select based solely on motor power, as each application also depends on speed, load, torque, and the drive method.
Required information includes:
Usage: purpose of use
Required Speed: required speed
Required Power: required power
Frequency of Starting and Stopping: frequency of starting and stopping
Daily Usage Time: daily operating time
Radial Load and Axial Load: radial load and axial load
Drive Method: drive method such as sprocket, chain, or belt
Once the data is obtained, it is necessary to calculate the gear ratio, select the motor power, check the moment of inertia, determine the service factor, and check the overhung load if the output shaft is connected to gears, sprockets, pulleys, or belts.
Service Factor and Overhung Load
Service factor is determined based on the load type, frequency of starting/stopping, and daily operating time.
Load type | Condition |
|---|---|
Uniform load | Mass acceleration factor M ≤ 0.2 |
Medium impact load | Mass acceleration factor M ≤ 3 |
Heavy shock load | Mass acceleration factor M ≤ 10 |
If the mass acceleration factor M > 10, technical verification is required before selecting a model.
Overhung load refers to the radial load acting on the output shaft. This parameter must be checked when the output shaft is connected to gears, sprockets, pulleys, or belts. Ignoring the overhung load may result in a selected model that is unsuitable for actual operating conditions.
Mounting Position and Lubrication Check
The DR-Series offers various mounting positions such as M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6. The mounting position affects the location of the breather valve, oil level plug, oil drain plug, and the required amount of lubricant.

The DR-Series DSK mounting position must be determined before checking the lubricant and selecting the mounting configuration.
Before operation, it is necessary to check the position of the breather valve and the lubricant level via the oil level plug. The oil quantity depends on the gearbox size, mounting type, and actual mounting position.
Output shaft tolerances:
Shaft type | Tolerance |
|---|---|
Solid shaft ≤ 50mm | ISO k6 |
Solid shaft > 50mm | ISO m6 |
Hollow shaft | ISO H7 |
When is technical verification required before model selection?
Technical verification is recommended before selecting a model in the following cases:
Input shaft speed exceeds 1,800 rpm
Mass acceleration factor is greater than 10
High impact loads or high inertia
High start-stop frequency
Significant radial load on the output shaft
Significant axial load
Use of pulleys, sprockets, chains, or belts with high tension
Mounting position not clearly defined
Selection of options such as INV, HL, AF, EN, AC-B, or DC-B is required
