From a crane manufacturer to which we only supplied gearboxes indirectly in the past, we got the request to help them due to a delivery time issue with their standard supplier. They were looking for planetary gearboxes for a slewing and luffing movement, both units with eccentricity on the output and suitable for big size servomotors. 

The pinions were produced in non-common moduls, the teeth were induction hardened and afterwards ground to reach the right, shiny teeth surface for a perfect match with the slewing bearings. 

​Since the crane will be used inside a building, there was no need to blast the gearboxes and a two layer epoxy paint with the final layer in this nice red color was sufficient.

There are several reasons to repair a gearbox instead of replacing it by a brand new one. It can be time, it can be costs or maybe thinking about the environment. A broken gearbox can create a huge cost when it stops a production process. The damage can be created by a external force, accident, overload or also often by lack of maintenance.

When gearboxes are well monitored by logging running time, frequent visual inspection and controlling noise level, a breakdown can often be prevented. We see several different levels of maintenance on transmissions. Some companies wait till a breakdown, others do have a detailed maintenance planning and slowly we also see an increase of condition monitoring systems which are installed from day one. Depending on the type of gearbox, the manufacturer of it and the condition monitoring options, this system can have a huge cost but it can also prevent companies from even bigger costs when they face a gearbox breakdown.

For the brands and products we distribute, we are here to support you in terms of inspection, revision and repairs of the different transmissions.

When you take a boat and go on the sea, you will see more and more platforms and windmills operating offshore. On these platforms you can find plenty of machines which all need to be maintained. One of the options to reach these platforms is by means of an access bridge or also called gangways.

For a major producer of telescopic access bridges we have supplied these planetary drives with pinions to create the telescopic movement of the bridge.
​
These single stage gearboxes have an integrated pinion, hydraulic brake on the input and are prepared for a hydraulic motor. The units are blasted after assembly, finished with a 3 layer offshore coating and come with DNV type approval according to DNVGL-ST-0358 for Offshore Gangways.

​How to create a linear movement at a place where you don’t have a normal power supply? These cute actuators are driven by small DC motors which are connected to batteries to be used at different locations.

Since the application requires a precise positioning in the middle of the stroke, the units are supplied with 3 adjustable limit switches. One is used to recognize the starting position, one for the middle position and one at the end of the stroke.

Are you looking for a linear actuator with AC or DC (brake)motor or maybe driven by a servomotor, Setec has a full range of actuators and electric cylinders with a wide range of admissible forces, with trapezoidal- or ball screw, custom made stroke lengths and many options.
