Custom gearbox design
25 February 2015
Renold Gears has designed a bespoke gearbox for Swiss food processing equipment manufacturer, Bühler, in record time with just three online meetings between the customer's engineers, and Renold's engineers in both Switzerland and the UK.
The new custom gearbox, for a new pasta making machine, was a multiple input bevel-helical unit that had to fit within very tight space constraints and meet demanding weight limits.
To achieve this Renold's engineers had to use the latest finite element analysis and 3D modelling software to reduce the thickness of the gearbox casing without compromising its structural integrity.
