Customised industrial gearbox solution for heavy loads

Parallel shaft gear units are often used in vertical drives, in which the rope drum and motoring operation are arranged on the same are arranged on the same gearbox side. Compact universal gearboxes therefore often have to be oversized in terms of torque, as the centre distance between the input and output shafts is not sufficient.

The new industrial gear unit series X..e/HC for vertical drives, originates from the established X series from SEW-EURODRIVE and has an increased centre distance.

This gives the crane designer decisive advantages in system design:

• optimized gearbox size selection with reduced gearbox weight and at the same time sufficient centre distance.
• Lower investment costs for the drive
• Savings in material and resources in the steel construction of the crane due to the weight reduction on the trolley

By reducing the total mass to be the total mass to be moved is reduced is reduced, additional savings in energy consumption can be realised. To further increase this effect, the travel drives can also be dimensioned smaller if necessary.

Not only optimised installation, but also optimised use and maintenance. Here too, the X..e/HC application series with its options is uncomplicated to use and easy to maintain.

Perfect solution for high radial loads

To absorb the radial loads from the rope pull forces, the gear unit is equipped as standard with a with an amplified full wave and reinforced bearing arragement. designed as standard. Depending on the system design, the drives are also available with a hollow shaft for connection to the application. In addition, the following are available for support of the torque foot-mounted design and torque support variants are also available.

Special calculation programmes enable the design for a defined service life, e.g. with FEM-typical load spectra and crane classifications. However, other customer specifications relating to safety and application factors can also be included in the calculation.
