Elevator gearboxes

 

          • high acceleration power
          • adherence to strict safety standards

 

ZF-Ecolift models RME 310 and RME 410 are planetary gearboxes specifically designed for elevator movement applications. Constructed for both passenger and service elevators, the units benefit from the use of a two-stage design to transmit power to the sheave, rather than using worm gears. Suitable for motor speeds of 1000, 1500 (standard) and 3000 rpm, ZF-Ecolift gearboxes fulfill elevator technical regulations TRA 200 and TRA 220-229, as well as the European standard DIN EN 81. For frequency inverter applications, speed can be increased or decreased referencing the standard speed, which makes the use of multiple sheave sizes obsolete. The gearboxes can be used with motors up to 50 hp, and handle load capacities up to 5500 lbs. Helical planetary gearing contributes to the units’ low noise.

Hypoid gearbox

The Dyna-Lite right-angle gear reducer uses hypoid gearing for better torque, speed, backlash and efficiency over other high precision gearboxes. Greater tooth contact area provides greater load carrying capability. A 10:1 gear ratio can be achieved in a single stage with efficiency of 93 to 96%, depending on ratio, throughout the speed range.

Size 20 harmonic gearhead

The HPG Series planetary gearhead is now offered in size 20, with a backlash level of less than 1 arc-min. The units have a rated torque of 321 in.lb and a maximum torque of 1920 in.lb. A 90 mm square mounting flange is provided on the 105 mm long device, which is offered in ratios from 5 to 45:1. Applications include automation equipment and machine tools.

Wrap spring clutch

The wrap spring design of the Deltran PT DuraLIFE-33 allows for very fast response to bring loads from zero to full speed in less than 3 milliseconds, depending on load requirements. It provides 30 lb/in. of torque over a cycle life of 1 million actuations. Available in voltages of 12, 24 or 90 VDC, it can be used in office automation applications such as printers, copiers or paper cutters.

Centrifugal clutch

The Tri-Lobe Clutch is a 3-shoe unit that enhances balance by distributing its weight more evenly on the crankshaft. Measuring approximately 7-in. in dia. and fitting a 1-in. bore, the device was designed for concrete pumps, riding trowels, and other applications up to 50 hp. The lining of the shoes has a higher coefficient of friction than earlier designs.

Extra bearing for linear drive

An option for an extra bearing on these rolling ring linear drives doubles the axial thrust capacity without forcing users to redesign for a larger size drive. Available in 9 sizes, the RG3 and RG4 linear drives are used in machinery requiring a reciprocating motion component such as materials handling systems, winding machines and spraying assemblies.
