5-stage planetary gearbox with bevel input

Slow rotating transmission for sand wheel

Some time ago, we received a request to drive a scoop wheel in the sand and gravel extraction industry. The sand wheel is part of a dewatering plant that removes water from the sand, making it drier to come out of the plant. Dewatering the sand fraction is a continuous and slowly rotating process.

For this, we built a 5-stage planetary gearbox with bevel input stage, assembled from our large stock of Dinamic Oil subassemblies. With a ratio of 1:1206 and an output speed of 1.3 rpm, this gearbox has a (theoretical) lifetime of more than 20,000 hours.

The gearbox is fitted with a 5,5kW electric motor and has a 130mm hollow output shaft including a shrink disk in a heavy duty version. In our spray cabin, we provided the planetary transmission with a 3-layer epoxy coating because it is placed outdoors.

When selecting the right coupling, technical expertise is essential. Where a flexible coupling has to absorb vibrations and compensate for misalignment, a gear coupling exceeds in transmitting extremely high torques within a compact design. A disc coupling, on the other hand, is torsionally rigid and without backlash, making it ideal for precision applications such as pumps and compressors. Finding the right balance between performance, reliability and lifecycle requires specialized knowledge.
