Industrial gearboxes Redulus GMH/GME

Product catalog summary
Overview
The REDULUS GMH/GME planetary gearboxes by Zf Industrieantriebe Witten GmbH offer nominal sizes from 160 to 7000 and output torques between 70 and 3,300 kNm. These gearboxes are designed for hydraulic or electric motor installations, featuring a compact design, high mechanical efficiency, and silent operation.
Specifications
The gearboxes are constructed with high-quality components, ensuring reliability in various industrial applications. They comply with DIN EN ISO 9001 2000 standards for consistent quality. Available in different design variants, they feature precise transmission ratios and standard housings made of nodular cast iron.
Design and Features
Featuring a compact planetary design, the gearboxes allow for easy mounting and high mechanical efficiency. They can be mounted in any position, with specific lubrication measures for inclined or vertical positions. Delivered ready for installation, they include external paint and corrosion protection for up to 24 months.
Technical Data
The document provides detailed technical data, including gearbox dimensions, weights, and oil volumes. It outlines noise characteristics, gear teeth design, and lubrication requirements, recommending proprietary gear oils with EP-additives.
Cooling and Safety
Cooling is achieved through heat dissipation, with additional options available for higher thermal power limits. Safety measures include protection against accidental contact with rotating parts, and compliance with local safety regulations is mandatory.
Ordering and Customization
An ordering code is provided for selecting the appropriate gearbox design and configuration. Custom gearboxes for specific applications are available upon request.
Application and Load Classification
The gearboxes are suitable for various industrial applications, with load classifications provided for different machinery types. Guidelines for gearbox selection based on continuous output torque and service factors are included.
Maintenance and Operation
Proper commissioning and maintenance are crucial, with specific instructions provided in the operating manual. The document emphasizes ensuring that torque arms and couplings allow for movement without restraining forces.
Conclusion
The REDULUS GMH/GME planetary gearboxes offer a robust and efficient solution for industrial drive applications, focusing on reliability, customization, and adherence to high technical standards.
Thermal Load Review
The document highlights the importance of reviewing thermal loads alongside mechanical loads. The admissible thermal power limit (PT) is calculated using the formula PT = Pth • fW • fA. Additional cooling is required if PT is less than the required power (Prequ.), with options including oil and water chambers, fans, and oil/air or oil/water coolers.
Gearbox Selection
The nominal thermal power limit varies based on gearbox size, location, and transmission stages. A detailed table of these limits is provided, emphasizing that these figures are average values and should be verified for specific cases.
Gearbox Design
Standard dimensions for gearbox types, including hollow shaft with shrink disk and flange-mount designs, are provided. Specifications include machine shaft strength, surface roughness, and tolerance ranges. The document advises contacting sales partners for special dimensions.
Weights and Oil Volumes
Weights and oil volumes for different gearbox sizes and designs are listed, noting that these apply to horizontal mounting positions and do not include oil filling and motor weights.
Customer Specification
A detailed customer specification form is included, requiring information on operating conditions, application details, and specific requirements for a ZF gearbox REDULUS GMH/GME. It emphasizes the need to fill out all fields and provides contact information for submitting the specification.

Seals The standard scope of supply includes input- and output shaft sealed with radial shaft seal rings on replaceable wearing sleeves. Mounting position The gearboxes can be mounted in any position. However, the desired mounting position must be specified so that we can ensure proper lubrication. Bearings Gear wheels, planet carriers and shafts are carried exclusively in antifriction bearings. Scope of Supply ZF planetary gearboxes REDULUS are delivered ready for installation, but without oil filling. By default, an external paint coat (blue RAL 5015) is applied. The gearbox interior is protected...

Mechanical Review The continuous output torques shown in this table are based on the following conditions: • no-shock operation • up to five starts per hour with an admissible start-up factor Czul as high as 3-times the rated torque. The exact admissible start-up factor for a specific gearbox size and type can be seen from the table on page 11. In case of more frequent starts and higher start-up factors please contact our sales team.
