Crouzet Introduces Single and Double Ovoid Gearboxes Featuring Low Speed, High Durability and Wide Motor Option SelectionCrouzet North America, has introduced a new line of Single Ovoid and Double Ovoid Gearboxes. The new second generation gearboxes offer low speed in a wide range of gear ratios and motor options. All motor options are RoHS compliant and many meet UL and CSA requirements. 
Corus Opens its Doors to Hybrid Brevini PIV GearboxesA new filter plant at the BOS plant on the Scunthorpe Corus steelworks is using hybrid design gearboxes combining planetary and helical gear technology to open and close the doors on the iron desulphurisation process. The new installation is being used to capture the fumes created during the desulphurisation process, and has built in order to improve the plants environmental performance. The door drives needed to be compact yet still able to provide high torque output and low energy input, combined with strength and durability. Brevini PIV was able to deliver a solution using its Posiplan BPH shaft mounted gearbox. 
NORDBLOC Industrial Gear Unit range provides integrated motor swing base sub-assembly for 60 to 200 kNm torque outputAs part of its comprehensive range of NORDBLOC industrial gear units for torque output from 60,000 to 200,000 Nm, NORD supplies complete modular sub-assemblies comprising UNICASE gearbox, motor and coupling with a broad and flexible range of options and accessories. Fully pre-assembled on torsionally rigid motor swing base or base frame mountings, the combined units require no complex alignment and are supplied fully tested. 
New KHK gears available from R. A. RodriguezThe range of KHK gears from R. A. Rodriguez is now extensive. The latest edition of the company's master catalogue contains 500 pages of stock gear types and variants, several of which are new to the range. The guide also includes 200 pages of theoretical and practical information to assist the designer in choosing the right product for the job. 
Smaller module gearsThe KHK range of metric gears from R. A. Rodriguez is already considered to be one of the most comprehensive with 80 standard gear products and more than 3,500 individual items. Japanese manufacturer, KHK, has however found room for even more variation. Its product programme has recently been boosted by 570 configurations of fine pitch gears. 
Crane Drives Keep Moving with New PB Gear Units from RenoldOn any dockside where container cargo is loaded on and off ships, large rail mounted Gantries are used to lift and move the heavy cargo containers. These cranes (some in excess of 200 feet high) move along the dockside on rails and can have up to 8 large steel wheels – 4 on either side. Each wheel is driven individually by shaft mounted gearboxes. 
Renold Gears profiles Holroyd at the CIMT show in Beijing, ChinaRenold Gears has long been known for high quality power transmission equipment, the roots of which can be traced back to the John Holroyd company which was established, and started manufacture, at the start of the last century. 
In-Line Precision Planetary Servo Gearboxes Available from HeasonZF Industrial's Servoplan® PG precision grade planetary gearboxes are available in the UK from Heason Technology Limited. Aimed at demanding servomotor drive applications, with ratios between 3:1 and 100:1 and output torques from 25 to 3000 Nm, the low backlash German manufactured range is fully interchangeable with other major brand servo gearboxes. The modular design allows a wide choice of mounting and output shaft configurations as well as assembly to almost all brushed and brushless servomotors - including Heason's own AKM series from Danaher. 
Efficient gearboxes ensure reduced energy consumption for Scottish WaterDuring a recent service two thickener drives at the Scottish Water sewage treatment works in Glendevon were deemed to be obsolete. The costs of either repairing or replacing the drives would be extremely high as replacing the drives would require lengthy downtime and a repair job would be inefficient. Fortunately Brevini, working closely with Brammer Plc. a provider of industrial services, was able to deliver a no-engineering solution which would fit on the existing structure and provide the plant with high energy efficiency.

Replacement gears enable the adventure to continueWhen the gears used in the back axle of his beloved Lanchester failed on a recent trip to France, Peter Noble, after months of searching the world, turned to Renold Gears, based in Milnrow, for a solution. 
High-torque industrial gearboxes come in high-integrity single-piece housingsNord Drivesystems has extended its family of high-integrity industrial gearbox units, adding a family of high-power models with maximum torque ratings up to 200000 Nm. 
Brevini planetary gearboxes provide Anglian Water with ‘no engineering’ solutionAnglian Water PLC sewage treatment works in Benfleet has replaced its obsolete gearboxes for Brevini's innovative range of planetary gearboxes. When the old 'varatio strateline' gearboxes began to fail on two half bridge scrapers Anglian Water found that Brevini were the only company able to meet all the requirements for a new gearbox. Brevini was able to offer a low-cost solution providing compact and highly efficient gearboxes without the need to replace or re-engineer the half bridge scraper. 
Planetary gearboxes - Ideal Solution for Driving Peristaltic PumpsPlanetary gearboxes, the ideal solution for driving peristaltic pumps and the water industry………Jon Snaith of Brevini UK explains 
Renold Gears pioneers the way to replicate thread form for Worms and Worm gearsWorms and worm gears have been manufactured since ancient times. In modern times the profile or tooth form of gearing has been standardised for most types of gears. Helical or spur gear teeth can be defined in terms of pressure angle and NDP. 
Brevini scores at WembleyThirty-four Brevini Power Transmission gear units move the seven sliding panels that open and close the roof on the new Wembley Stadium. After also completing the roofs for major stadiums in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, Hollandia, the company which constructed the roof, has chosen Brevini products for Wembley Stadium. 
Ultra high efficiency gearboxes now offered in economic, lightweight aluminium housingsHelical-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. 
New Literature For Rexnord Gear Couplings'Lifelign®', one of three new coupling lines added to Rexnord's range of power transmission products from Falk™, is now supported by new literature. Features of Lifelign couplings include competitive pricing against equivalent duty units, superior bore capacities permitting smaller sized units to be specified against alternative units, and flexible inter-changeability with installed couplings. 
Gearboxes extend range for spindle drivesRedex-Andantex's two speed gearboxes have been designed to extend the constant power range of machine tool spindle drive motors. |
