Tramec supplier in Romania
Worm and coaxial gearboxes for industrial drives
Founded in 1986 · Headquarters: Calderara di Reno, Italy
Who is Tramec and what does it make?
Tramec is an Italian manufacturer of industrial gearboxes, with its operational headquarters in Calderara di Reno, near Bologna, active since 1986. The range covers worm gearboxes, helical-bevel and bevel-helical gearboxes, parallel-shaft gearboxes and precision planetary gearboxes, plus special ATEX-certified variants for explosive atmospheres. From the Tramec range we can quote gearboxes for industrial drives where the customer needs speed reduction and torque multiplication in a compact size.
Tramec offers several gearbox series for different mounting configurations. Worm gearboxes remain the preferred option where a high reduction ratio in a single stage matters more than efficiency, while the helical-bevel lines are chosen for better efficiency under continuous loads. ATEX-certified variants are also available.
For installations in Romania, the Tramec range makes sense on conveyors, packaging lines and agricultural or food industry machinery where installation space is limited and a compact gearbox is preferred to a bulky gearbox unit. It is also a suitable solution for retrofitting older drives, with a flange compatible with standard motors.
What do we supply from the Tramec range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Worm Gearboxes | Worm screw gearboxes, chosen for high reduction ratios in a single stage and a small size. Suitable for drives with frequent start-stop, where the mechanical self-locking of the worm gear adds safety. For a quotation, the customer must provide the reduction ratio wanted, the output torque required and the type of mounting (flanged or with free shaft). |
| Helical-Bevel and Bevel-Helical Gearboxes | The company's original production line, with higher efficiency than the worm version under continuous loads and the possibility of combining a bevel stage with a helical stage for high reduction ratios. Recommended where operation is continuous and energy efficiency matters. Configuration requires the power of the driving motor and the mounting position. |
| Precision Planetary Gearboxes | A family of gearboxes with low angular backlash, for precise positioning applications in automation. They are usually mounted directly on servomotors. The customer must state the type and size of the servomotor, the permitted angular backlash and the reduction ratio required for the quotation to be correct. |

How do we supply Tramec in Romania?
What we write about Tramec comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we hold no stock of our own; we confirm exact availability in the quotation. We bring in the gearboxes to order through supply channels in the European Union, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the reduction ratio, the output torque, the type of mounting and, where applicable, the ATEX requirement. For the precision planetary variants, which are usually configured on request, availability is checked for each order.
Lead times for ATEX variants with a special configuration depend on the availability of the factory in Italy, and we state them in the quotation.
Frequently asked questions about Tramec
Which Tramec gearbox do I choose for a very high reduction ratio?
The XX-KX-KK series combines two worm stages and covers reduction ratios from 150 to 10000, making it suitable for slow positioning mechanisms or cranes. For lower ratios, up to 100, a single stage from the X or K series covers most usual industrial applications, in a smaller size.
What is the difference between Tramec T and Z gearboxes?
The T series is an orthogonal-shaft gearbox, with helical-bevel gears, suitable where the motor must be mounted perpendicular to the output shaft. The Z series uses helical gears with parallel shafts, recommended for high powers, up to 270 kW, and high torques.
Do you supply Tramec gearboxes in Romania?
Yes, Tramec gearboxes are brought in to order from the range published by the manufacturer, without a line of our own kept in a warehouse. The lead time to order is usually 1–4 weeks, depending on the housing size and the reduction ratio chosen. We recommend confirming the exact series before requesting a quotation.
What information should I send for a Tramec gearbox quotation?
It helps to state the output torque required, the reduction ratio wanted and the speed of the driving motor. For mounting, the shaft orientation (parallel or orthogonal) and the type of fixing also matter, elements that determine the right choice between the X, T, Z or P series in the Tramec range.
How do I request a Tramec quotation?
Send the Tramec code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
