From 3d design to customized transmission

03/09/2025

We open doors… even 16-ton ones

For a large industrial hall, Aandrijf Technisch Buro engineered and supplied the complete transmission system for an impressive door weighing approximately 16 tons, measuring over 5 meters in height and nearly 28 meters in width.

The challenge with this project was in the size and weight of the door, combined with the required relatively high opening speed and duty cycle. This required a transmission that was not only powerful and reliable, but also thermally resistant to intensive operation.

Our engineers developed a solution by combining components from several trusted partners:

  • 2x SEP-500 screw jacks with stroke length 5300 mm (TR110x16) – from Setec Group
  • CFMS-87 helical gearbox with double output shaft, ratio 1:4.12 – Cidepa-Sincron
  • Equipped with 15kW brake motor
  • 8x flexible coupling PNM-100 – Northon-Trasmissioni
  • 12x bearing units UCP 208 – Q-Bearings
  • 6x spacer shaft of 4400 mm


The entire drive train was designed to move along with the door. The screw jackss were deliberately oversized relative to the door’s weight in order to increase thermal capacity and ensure reliable, long-term operation.

Aandrijf Technisch Buro delivered the complete system including shafts, couplings and bearing units providing the customer with a ready-to-use solution.

Season greetings from Aandrijf Technisch Buro

Aandrijf Technisch Buro wishes you happy holidays and a healthy and successful 2026. During the holidays, we will not be available by telephone in weeks 52 and 1.

Our partner – Northon Trasmissioni

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.

Driving cranes, moving loads
