FCB Nova-Gear®

Product catalog summary

Overview: The FCB Nova-Gear® is a patented industrial solution designed for on-site machining of toothed girth-gears without disassembly. It ensures safety, reduces production downtime, and extends the gear's lifetime by refurbishing the gear profile to a high-quality standard (≤ Class 9, ISO 1328).

Applications: This service is applicable to large, straight cut toothed girth-gears on rotating tubes such as kilns, mills, dryers, and calciners. It supports tooth widths of 400 to 850mm, modules of 20 to 40, and external diameters of 3,600 to 12,000mm, provided the tooth counter-flank is undamaged.

Means: The solution is backed by dedicated teams with over 85 years of OEM expertise. It utilizes the FCB Scan-Gear™ for wear diagnosis and the innovative FCB Nova-Gear® machine tool for refurbishment. Safety standards and environmental procedures are strictly adhered to.

Operating Mode: The process begins with a complete preliminary diagnosis using FCB Scan-Gear™, followed by an audit report. On-site preparation includes scaffolding and cleaning. The FCB Nova-Gear® performs automatic machining, typically requiring a one-week shutdown. Post-machining, a report with quality inspections and recommendations is provided.

Diagnosis and Machining: The FCB Scan-Gear™ measures vibration levels and assesses the girth-gear's condition. It confirms machining feasibility and provides a detailed report. The FCB Nova-Gear® automates the machining of active flanks, ensuring high-quality results.

Inspection and Recommendations: Post-machining inspections cover quality and geometry, with mechanical audits for vibration levels. Recommendations for wear control and preventive maintenance are provided.

Benefits: The FCB Nova-Gear® offers an alternative to girth-gear reversal, ensuring safety, reduced downtime, and cost-effective interventions. It improves gear drive vibration behavior and ensures long-term reliability of the production line.
