Spiral bevel gearboxes offer many options

Neeter Drive offers a vast variety of spiral bevel gearboxes in its four ranges, but it's the original range N that offers the key to the majority of applications.

Neeter Drive offers a vast variety of spiral bevel gearboxes in its four ranges, but it's the original range N that offers the key to the majority of applications.

Over many years the range N has been adapted to suit customer needs, whether it's a minor alteration, including longer or, shorter shafts or a major design change such as a special housing.

These variants are specifically adapted to meet customers' needs allowing the units to easily and neatly interface with the end product, which can yield savings in assembly time and cost.

For example, units have been manufactured with stainless-steel cases, covers and shafts, supplied for the nuclear environment and the food process industry.

Submersible units have been supplied as part of a remote underwater valve controller system.

The units supplied were manufactured using customer specified materials for shafts, oil seals and O-rings.

As well as redesigning the covers to take the special oil seals and special interfacing, a facility for the customer to fix a "pressure balloon" was incorporated to allow pressure compensation.

For many years Neeter Drive has also worked with many defence companies to alter the units for military applications.

Features include gearbox housings manufactured from aluminium, special shaft design and mounting flanges.

These units have been used on military vehicles and artillery.

Neeter Drive has vast experience in this type of application and has been greatly involved in research and development work with various defence companies to offer units suited to their applications.

This includes a large involvement in humanitarian projects, such as a special "high power" design for land minesweepers, which have been used extensively throughout the world.

The "high power" unit is based on a standard product, but the internal gear and shaft design have been designed to give extra power at a given speed within the case size.

Process applications have required close-coupled designs with special mounting features on housings to allow compact machine integration.

One example has allowed machine designers to minimise the width of the conveyor allowing the operative to get closer to the product on the line.

Many other customers have benefited from the adaptability of the Neeter Drive N range and the applications detailed above are just a few.

Whether it's longer shafts, shorter shafts, spigots on covers, special input/output flanges, special coatings on shafts or special materials, the options are endless.
