Components for Tunnelling Machines-7

The main parts of a tunnel boring machine are a rotating cutting shield, followed by a main bearing, a thrust system and trailing support mechanism. The slewing bearings by Liebherr will be specifically developed for EPB-, Hard rock- and other types of shields. Possible gearing types are external, internal or without gear. The bearings are available in a diameter range of up to 9,000 mm and have been proved in subway projects – for example in Mumbai (India), London (UK) and Qingdao (China). Erector Bearings Single-row four-point bearings and cross-roller bearings are used for the erector system,...

Gear unit series for Cutterhead Drive The gearboxes have a modular design and are suitable for dynamic output torques of up to 610,000 Nm. They are equipped with a specially developed cooling system that keeps the temperatures of individual components low. This, in turn, increases the life expectancy of the components and considerably extends the time between oil changes and maintenance intervals. Liebherr has also developed a sealing system with pressureresistant seals as an option. This increases operational safety in harsh environmental and operating conditions. The gearboxes can be equipped...
