A World Leader In Industrial Mixing Since 1923. Lightnin has over 85 years of unrivaled experience in industrial mixing technology, The Lightnin Shock Absorber Series 80 process knowledge, and technological innovation. Lightnin enjoys a global reputation for durable, long-lasting mixers, agitators, aerators, and flocculators for fluid process systems. Thousands of Lightnin Mixers with hollow quill drives have been placed in service since we first created the design in the late 1960’s to protect the gear train from severe flexures of the shaft. The exclusive hollow quill We offer a full spectrum...

Typical product applications T H E O RY O F O P E R AT I O N : Series 80 Mixers are a highly efficient heavy-duty mixer, suitable for use in a wide Hollow Quill Flex Protection. A torsionally resilient coupling transmits power from quill to mixer shaft, while isolating gearing from shaft flexure. View the detailed drawings and you’ll see how this design protects against severe bending and shock. Coupling Guards. Coupling guards meet OSHA and International standards and protect people from moving parts. range of applications. We guarantee, 100%, that every mixer will do the job we say it will do....

HEAVY-DUTY MIXERS SPX.INDUSTRIAL processesEXCLUSIVE HOLLOW QUILL CONSTRUCTION: Hollow quill assembly with bevel gear is mounted in its own heavy-duty bearings. Mixer shaft is supported independently. It is mounted in separate bearings that carry only the mixer shaft loads. Mixer shaft is flexibly coupled to the quill. A torsionally resilient coupling transmits power from quill to mixer shaft, through a steel taper grid member that freely adjusts to shaft flexure. Shaft flexure is isolated from gears. The drawing shows in exaggerated fashion how the mixer shaft can flex dramatically in the hallow...
