Furuno 6kW 24RPM Radar Gearbox f/FR8065

The Furuno 6kW 24RPM Radar Gearbox for the FR8065 is a precision marine drive component engineered to deliver consistent rotational speed for Furuno's FR8065 radar antenna system. Rated at 6 kilowatts of power with 24 revolutions per minute, this gearbox serves as the critical mechanical interface between the motor drive and the rotating antenna head, ensuring stable, continuous surveillance on the water. Marine radar operators depend on consistent gear performance for reliable target acquisition and tracking in commercial fishing, naval, and coastal defense applications.

The 24RPM specification is matched to the FR8065's optical and electronic design to maintain proper sweep rate and signal integration time across the antenna's full rotation. At 52 pounds and housed in a compact footprint of 18 × 18 × 22 inches, this gearbox integrates into the FR8065 pedestal mount without requiring structural reinforcement on most professional-grade radar platforms. The 6kW power rating reflects both the motor coupling capacity and the load tolerance of the internal gear train—this is marine-grade reduction gearing designed for prolonged duty cycles in salt-air environments typical of offshore and coastal operations.

Operators maintaining or upgrading FR8065 systems—whether on commercial vessels, law enforcement marine units, or naval platforms—will find this gearbox as an OEM replacement component (part number RSB0070-085A). The unit is manufactured to Furuno's specifications for direct compatibility with the FR8065 antenna assembly. Sourcing authentic OEM radar components ensures signal fidelity and mechanical longevity across multi-year deployment cycles.

Note: This component may not be returned to the original point of purchase. Any technical issues or warranty concerns should be directed to Furuno directly. Proper installation by qualified marine electronics technicians is recommended to ensure optimal performance and alignment of the antenna head.
