New heavy duty fully coupled drive combinations are being custom engineered by Bonfiglioli for a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry.
The HD drive Power Packs for boom conveyors incorporate new generation HDO 130 helical drives fixed to a base plate and fully coupled and laser aligned with their fluid couplings, disc brakes, pony drives and rigid output couplings.
The latest Power Packs – with locally designed and fabricated baseplate assembly – are designed optimum ease of installation, rugged service and low maintenance in materials handling and process applications.
The 51,000 Nm capacity drives incorporate such features as:
- Delayed filling fluid coupling to provide about 150 per cent of motor full load torque on start up, which reduces drive train wear
- HS disc brake as a safety feature to ensure the conveyor does not backdrive in the case of a failure
- LS rigid output couple, which allows trouble-free disassembly at maintenance intervals through its bolted connection design.
HD drive Power Packs – in drive capacities from 1722 kW and 150,000 Nm torque – are particularly suited to conveyor drives and materials handling applications across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, mineral processing, primary processing, resources, energy and water and waste water.
The Power Packs are suitable for both static industrial equipment and mobile equipment.
Power packs are part of Bonfiglioli’s ongoing process of product diversification, process automation, and quality focus that has enabled Bonfiglioli to play a leadership role in the industry as a major supplier of helical, planetary, worm and frequency inverter drives.
Features of the HD Power Packs include:
- Ratios from 7:1 to 500:1
- Reduced noise emissions from fully hardened and ground alloy steel helical and bevel gears to DIN Class 6
- SG cast iron housings and high grade alloy steel shafts with induction hardened seal journals to ensure greater service life in demanding conditions
- High efficiencies from fully hardened and ground alloy helical and bevel gears in conjunction with premium high speed bearings. These result in reducers being up to 94 per cent efficient in three-stage form.
- Superior lubrication achieved by combining splash lubrication with dedicated galleries and lubricant collection pockets incorporated into the internal walls of the housing and side covers.
- Heavy duty bearings. All units feature premium brand roller bearings allowing high load carrying capacities and consistent bearing lifetimes throughout gearbox stages.
- Numerous mounting and shaft options resulting from the HD’s multi-machined case and symmetrical design. Shaft options include hollow keyed bore, single or double solid-keyed, shrink disc and male/female splines on request.
HD Drive Power packs are complemented by HD Hi-torque drives combining HD drives and Trasmital planetaries.
