Sweet solution to pumping problem
Power transmission giant Flender has helped a customer solve a space problem with an inventive type of gear unit.
"Flender not only delivered their unit within two weeks, but it was also a superior design".
Benefits of the new Flender FZG B45H12 gear unit included: a torque rating of 75kNm; a single unit combining gearbox and motor flanged on, replacing the previously separate motor driving the main box; more efficient design, absorbing two previously separate gear ratios; quieter, more flexible operation; longer service intervals; and Flender's fast track service system.
The whole unit was constructed, configured and delivered within 14 days.
The bedplate was modified for the new unit and everything was up and running a couple of days after the delivery to site.
