The fast track to more energy efficient gearboxes/gearmotors
May 4th 2009 Baldor has launched a fast-turnaround gearbox assembly service for European customers. The assembly line is located in Bristol, and is capable of building a wide range of models and sizes from the popular Dodge Quantis family of high efficiency gearboxes and gearmotors. The service enables custom-configured power transmission products to be delivered within days.
Dodge Quantis gearboxes and gearmotors are based on a modular design concept. These products are used for a wide variety of industrial applications, including conveying, pumping, mixing, winding and extruding machines. Baldor is now stocking all necessary components to assemble Dodge Quantis in-line helical (ILH) and right-angle helical bevel (RHB) speed reducers and gearmotors, in any case size from 38 to 108. The range includes the new Quantis Gold B14/C-face gearmotor - the most energy efficient package available.
ILH series speed reducers offer a choice of foot or output flange mountings, are available in double or triple ratios, and have an efficiency of up to 98.5% per stage. RHB series right-angle speed reducers offer shaft-mount, foot or output flange mounting, triple ratios, and have an efficiency of 95% per stage. Both are suitable for B14/C-face, separate or integral gearmotor use, feature a clamp-collar design, and employ spring-loaded nitrile rubber bearing seals. RHB series speed reducers also accept tapered hollow bores and twin-tapered bushings.
According to Baldor's Mark Crocker, We can assemble a wide range of IEC metric and NEMA speed reducers and gearmotors, to accommodate customers serving both European and American markets. We also offer an exceptionally wide choice of DC and AC motors. More articles from Baldor UK Limited: |
