Customised gearboxes
16 October 2014
In answer to a special customer requirement, Techdrives has supplied a customised assembly for two right angle gearboxes using mostly standard parts. The customer needed to offset the drive line on a mechanical handling application with an solution that was fully enclosed, efficient and maintenance free.

With a target of 250mm between shaft centres, chain and belt connections were unacceptable. Techdrives was able to offer a customised assembly of two standard Vogel spiral bevel gearboxes rated at 300Nm and with a centre distance of 258mm. The Vogel gearboxes are grease filled and maintenance free, also they have a high efficiency of 95%.
Vogel spiral bevel gearboxes are robust right angle drives available for torques from 10 to 8500Nm. Ratios of 1 to 6 are possible although in this case 1:1 was all that was needed. The selected gearboxes were size 250 rated at 300Nm.
