Abstract
An output shaft is a hollow shaft and passes through a gearbox. Holes for mounting also pass through the gearbox. The holes are located at the vertexes of a square or rectangle. And the output shaft, which is displaced (offset) relative to the square's (or rectangle's) center, is located on one diagonal of the square. This structure provides a variety of possibilities of assembling the gear device with a big motor, and the amount of projection of the faces of the gearbox from the output shaft can be kept as small as possible.
