Series AM Worm Gear

Product catalog summary
General Overview: The document serves as a comprehensive guide for Series A Mid Range Worm Gear units, which are designed for mechanical drive applications in industries such as food, energy, mining, automotive, aerospace, and marine propulsion. These units are customizable and suitable for medium power ranges up to 140 kW.
Product Specifications: The Series A includes single and double reduction worm gear units, heavy-duty stirrer units, and cooling tower fan drives. Single reduction units offer 12 standard ratios from 5/1 to 70/1, while double reduction units extend ratios up to 4200/1, ideal for slow-moving machinery.
Design and Features: The units feature a universal case for interchangeability, hollow output bores, and various shaft arrangements. Heavy-duty stirrer units have enhanced bearing capacity, and cooling tower fan drives include a built-in mechanical oil pump for lubrication.
Compliance and Certification: The products comply with the ATEX Directive for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, with certification available for standard gearboxes and geared motors.
Service Factors and Load Classification: The document details mechanical and thermal service factors, essential for selecting appropriate units based on load conditions and operating environments. Tables provide service factors for different prime movers, load classifications, and ambient temperatures.
Selection and Mounting: A detailed selection procedure is provided, including considerations for mounting positions, unit handings, and motor performance data. Dimension sheets for single and double reduction units are included.
Additional Features: Options for output shaft configurations, motor adaptors, and additional features like paint and lubrication are discussed. The document emphasizes considering ambient conditions and potential exposure to acids or abrasive solids.
Specifications: The document outlines specifications for a gearbox system, including absorbed output torque, normal motor capacity, and efficiency. The absorbed output torque is 1862Nm, and the thermal torque is 2612Nm. The normal output torque is calculated using the formula: Normal motor capacity x 9550 x Efficiency, resulting in 1970Nm.
Procedures: Procedures for checking physical dimensions for motorized units and overhung loads are included. Guidelines for checking motor performance data and ensuring compatibility with gearbox dimensions are provided.
Standards and Recommendations: The document recommends periodic air gap checks for brake motors and provides instructions for adjusting the air gap if necessary. It advises on the use of special oils and specifying the direction of output shaft rotation.
Motor Performance Data: Detailed motor performance data is provided, including full load speed, efficiency, power factor, and starting torque percentages. Various motor frame sizes and their specifications are listed.
Mounting Positions and Output Options: The document details mounting positions for both single and double reduction units, as well as output shaft positions. Additional features and output options for different unit sizes are listed.
Brake Motors: Information on brake motors, including brake sizes, torque specifications, and maintenance recommendations, is provided. The operation of spring-loaded brakes and the procedure for hand release are explained.
Motor Variants and Adaptors: Various motor variants are available, including single-phase, DC, energy-efficient, and explosion-proof motors. Motor adaptors for IEC and NEMA standards are mentioned.
Technical Document Summary:
1. Specifications: Detailed specifications for mechanical and thermal input power, output torque, and efficiency across various configurations and input speeds are provided.
2. Mechanical and Thermal Input Power: Mechanical input power is measured in kilowatts (kW) and varies across different unit sizes and configurations. Thermal input power is also provided.
3. Output Torque: Output torque is presented in Newton-meters (Nm) and varies depending on the unit size and configuration.
4. Efficiency: Efficiency percentages are provided for each configuration, indicating the effectiveness of power conversion from input to output.
5. Key Observations: Higher nominal ratios generally result in lower mechanical input power but higher output torque. Efficiency tends to decrease with higher nominal output speeds. Thermal input power is consistently higher than mechanical input power.
6. Recommendations: For optimal performance, select configurations with higher efficiency percentages and ensure that the mechanical and thermal input power requirements align with the operational capabilities of the system.
Handling and Safety Procedures:
  • Rubber Materials: Use rubber gloves when handling rubber materials.
  • Guards: Rotating shafts and couplings must be guarded to prevent physical contact or clothing entanglement.
  • Noise: High-speed gearboxes may produce harmful noise levels. Ear defenders should be provided.
  • Lifting: Use only designated lifting points or eyebolts for lifting operations.
  • Lubricants and Lubrication: Follow manufacturer instructions for handling lubricants. Check lubrication status before commissioning.
  • Electrical Equipment: Observe hazard warnings and isolate power before working on gearboxes.
Installation, Maintenance, and Storage:
  • Consult application engineering for special preservation requirements if equipment is stored for over six months.
  • Rotate gears and shafts monthly to prevent bearing brinelling.
  • Use gloves when removing preservative materials from external gearbox components.
  • Installation should follow manufacturer instructions and be performed by qualified personnel.
  • Use correct tools and approved spare parts for maintenance.
Hot Surfaces and Lubricants: Gear units may become hot during operation, posing a burn risk. Allow equipment to cool before servicing.
Selection and Design:
  • Ensure backup systems are in place if backstop device failure could endanger personnel or cause damage.
  • Correctly select driving and driven equipment to avoid critical speeds and torsional vibration.
  • Do not operate equipment beyond its designed environment, speed, power, torque, or load limits.
  • Design improvements are ongoing; specifications may change without notice.
Contact Information: Contact details for Benzlers and Radicon across various countries are provided for further assistance.

SERIES AM EXPLANATION & USE OF RATINGS & SERVICE FACTORS Gear unit selection is made by comparing actual loads with catalogue ratings. Catalogue ratings are based on a standard set of loading conditions, whereas actual load conditions vary according to type of application. Service Factors are therefore used to calculate an equivalent load to compare with catalogue ratings. i.e. Equivalent Load = Actual Load x Service Factor Two types of Service Factor must be considered:- Mechanical Service Factor Fm and Thermal Service Factors Ft, Fp and Fd Table1. Mechanical Service Factor Fm Mechanical Ratings...
