Abstract
A gear reducer housing includes mating front and rear shells, each formed with supports for bearings and rotating assemblies. The supports are located along a centerline of the housing shells and at two offset mirror image locations on either side of the centerline. The shell is at least partially surrounded by a peripheral flange for securing the housing shells to one another. Fastener apertures in each flange are formed to provide tolerance in the location of attachment fasteners. The flange includes fixturing pads allowing each shell to be fixtured once for a range of machining operations. Ports for lubricant permit the housing to be mounted in several angular positions.
