Hillhead 2014, 24-26 June, Lafarge Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, Derbyshire, Stand V15: A drive train package, launched by ABB at Hillhead 2014, demonstrates the benefits of using a single source supplier for all components from electric motors, variable-speed drives, Parallel shaft gearboxes, bearings and couplings.
If required, a single service contract can be purchased for the entire drive train. However, components such as Parallel shaft gearboxes, couplings and bearings are designed for easy and rapid removal and installation, offering major time saving for in-house maintenance teams. Specific features, such as the sealing techniques used in bearings, significantly extend the life cycle of the components. All the benefits are designed to reduce downtime, lower operating costs, improve reliability while increasing productivity levels.
Parallel shaft gearboxes
The ABB Dodge Quantis line features three global industry-leading gear motors and reducer solutions: In-Line Helical (ILH), Motorised Shaft Mount (MSM) and Right Angle Helical-Bevel (RHB). Designed to achieve greater output torque and power ratings and expanded ratio range, the Quantis range can allow the customer to downsize from existing units, resulting in a reduced product cost.
The range features an optional XT harsh duty output seal for wet and abrasive environments. This seal has a quadra lip design, rubber coated inner and outer seals and a protected seal running surface. ABB Dodge? speed reducers, come with sealing options that keep dirt and debris out giving a minimum operating life of 25,000 hours in harsh high load conditions such as those found in aggregates applications..
