Advantages

  • Modular construction system = Multi-purpose use of the housings and internal components
  • Optimum load distribution between the planetary gears, among other things owing to high manufacturing accuracy and Finite-Element-calculation method (FEM calculation) of the planetary carrier
  • Three or four planetary gears

 

Designs

  • Output shaft as hollow or solid shaft
  • Hollow shaft for shrink disk or with involute splines
  • Solid shaft with parallel key or involute splines
  • Input shaft with parallel key
  • Input and output shaft sealed by means of radial shaft seals; can be combined with primary refillable labyrinth
  • Input shaft with reinforced bearing
  • Bearing of main planetary gear stage in standard or reinforced design
  • Output can be combined with a short or long drive shaft and mounted pinion for use as gear unit in a slewing gear drive

 

Examples of Application

  • Roller press drives
  • Slewing gear drives
  • Bucket wheel drives
  • Apron conveyor drives
  • Separator drives
  • Agitator drives
  • Travelling gear drives
  • Steel band rolling mill drives
