Series C Provides Compact Drive Solution

 

As part of a complete design,build and installation of an assembly line Texam worked with F.G. Wilson facilities engineer Garry Hayes to devise a system using powered rollers every 6 metres. Each powered roller is linked to a Radicon Series C 0520 helical worm gear unit incorporating a 0.55kW motor, with one powered roller powering 12 slave rollers via twin double simplex sprockets and a 5/8 pitch chain drive. The powered system is then able to transport the generator sets along the line at up to 10 metres per minute.

Radicon Series C range of right angle helical worm gear motors and speed reducers provides input power ratings up to 45 kW and output torque up to 10,000 Nm, with gear ratios of up to 60,000:1

Series C uses Radicon's patented standard motor connection (NEMA or IEC), and all units are dimensionally interchangeable with major manufacturers. The range provides the option of fitting double oil seals, on input or output shaft as required and sizes 03 and 04 are lubricated for life.
