Oil Shear Crane Brake Solves Maintenance Headache
Working three shifts around the clock throughout the week doesn’t leave time in the schedule for production downtime in Southern Aluminum Finishing’s anodizing line in Atlanta, Georgia. However, they found themselves frequently grinding to a halt as their crane brakes demanded continual maintenance.
Expect Increased Efficiency with Hypoid Gearing Instead of Worm Gearing
Worm gears are the most common. An alternative is the hypoid gear. Hypoid gears may look similar to worm gears but due to the materials used for construction and the difference in how hypoid gears interact, they transmit torque differently. Hypoid gears can show an overall cost and efficiency advantage.
A Smarter Seal for the Long Haul
Isomag magnetic bearing isolators use superior face seal technology to protect the bearings on thousands of centrifugal machinery including but not limited to: pumps, gearboxes, electric motors, steam turbines, and blowers. The lapped flat faces create a positive liquid tight seal preventing lubricant leakage and the ingress of contaminants.
Motor Brakes That Never Need Adjustment – Ever!
MagnaShear Oil Shear Motor Brakes require very little maintenance other than an occasional fluid change, and they never need adjustment over years of trouble free service. This high reliability not only reduces cost but is a major safety improvement, especially on overhead cranes.
