At Aandrijf Technisch Buro, we recently delivered a series of eight customized bevel-helical gearboxes for use in a bogie drive system of a rail-mounted crane. This project highlights our flexibility in combining standard gearboxes with customer-specific adjustments, a key factor for crane manufacturers and service companies looking for reliable and durable long-term solutions.

Scope of supply

  • 8x CKMS-127 bevel helical gearbox (4x left and 4x right)
  • Ratio: i = 54.07
  • Heavy-duty shrink disc for extreme high maximum torque
  • Special hollow shaft with custom diameter and integrated bronze bushing, designed to match existing equipment during overhaul
  • Housing blasted and coated with a durable 3-layer epoxy paint system
  • Mounting surfaces for torque arm supplied in primer only, to protect against corrosion in outdoor environment
  • Delivered complete with lockable ball valve for easy oil drain 
  • Each gearbox filled with 56 liters of oil, ready for operation

Designed for demanding crane applications

The 8 gearboxes are specifically engineered for the existing bogie drive system of a rail-mounted crane, where quality, reliability and long service life are essential. By adapting both certain mechanical characteristics and the surface treatment to the customer’s requirements, we ensure maximum reliability in harsh port environments.

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.
