The challenge for Lenze was to specify a geared motor suitable for dragging a large rescue boat up over the shingle beach at Bognor Regis.
A two-stage helical gearbox was chosen as a compact, economical and readily available solution with high efficiency of over 96%.
With output torque rated at 617Nm the 5.5kW Lenze GST07 helical geared motor was selected for the job.
A 230V anticondensation heater was fitted in the motor, and the unit was epoxy painted to enhance its weatherproofing capability.
The gearbox assembly was supplied in March, and after operating a full summer season, the customer reported his satisfaction: "The motor gearbox assembly we purchased from you earlier this year is working beautifully and doing a magnificent job".
"It now pulls our large rescue boat up over the Bognor shingle with relentless ease". Request a free brochure from Lenze ...
