Ultra high efficiency gearboxes now offered in economic, lightweight aluminium housings

Helical-bevel gearboxes provide a speed reducer function that can deliver power transmission efficiencies of over 95% for machinery builders. This can be up to twice that of the worm style gears that are commonly used, providing major savings in energy consumption. Nord Drivesystems has now lowered the entry costs to this advanced reducer technology with a new range of two-stage helical-bevel gearboxes in lightweight diecast aluminium housings — providing considerable savings compared with established cast-iron products. In addition to energy savings, the highly efficient gearboxes allow automation builders to reduce costs by specifying smaller sizes of electric motor.
