Gearbox nameplate decoder
Turn a dense gearbox or gearmotor nameplate into the fields you need for a safer replacement search. Paste the text below; the tool extracts common identifiers locally in your browser.
Keep this for manufacturer-specific unit lookup and parts verification.
Ratio is critical for output speed and usually must match the application requirement.
Confirm whether this is motor input power or another rated value.
The nameplate may show input speed, output speed, or both; preserve the original label/photo.
Relevant when the gearbox is integrated with a motor or brake.
Motor speed and ratings can change with supply frequency.
This decoder only extracts likely fields from text. It does not verify identity, interpret every manufacturer code, or certify compatibility. Keep a clear photo of the original nameplate and verify critical values against manufacturer documentation.
The most useful fields to capture
Model / type
Usually identifies the gearbox family and size, but may not uniquely identify the configured unit.
Serial / order
Often unlocks unit-specific parts, drawings and configuration history through the manufacturer.
Ratio and speed
Critical to preserving the driven machine's output speed and operating point.
Motor and mounting
Power, voltage, frequency, mounting position and shaft dimensions can change replacement suitability.
Search after decoding
Once you have the manufacturer and model/type, search our verified catalog. If the exact record is not present, the zero-result search becomes a signal for the ingestion queue.
