BOGIFLEX

BOGIFLEX

​

PRESENTATION

​

The BOGIFLEX is a floating (shaft-mounted) reduction gear with self-adjusting transmission(s) that allows the reduction of contact surface defects that occur in standard gear trains where the gears rotate in fixed bearings. This means that it is perfect for harsh environments such as high temperatures, severe shocks, deformed materials, vibrations, flexible bearings, etc. ...flexible bearings.

The BOGIFLEX allows the transmission of high torques at low speeds and has an extremely wide reduction range.

PROPERTIES
The range: 12 different sizes (from BFT6 to BFT28)
High torque range: up to 10 000 kNm.
Reduction ratio: up to 10 000.
Weight: Up to 50 tons.

​

APPLICATIONS

​

Steel industry : Converter (LD, AOD, ...), Steel ladle drive, Torpedo cars, Sintering line, Sinter crusher, Restraint systems ...

Heavy cylindrical furnaces : furnaces and converters for copper, nickel, cement, coal and various dryers...

Sugar industry : vertical diffusion tower (sugar beet), horizontal diffusion (sugar beet, sugar cane).

Heavy lifting : crane drums.

ERMASTER

ERMASTER

​

CMD has developed the new ERmaster range of gearboxes for driving heavy industrial machinery under tough operating conditions. This new generation meets customer requirements in every respect:

  • low noise emission

  • utmost availability

  • reduced maintenance costs

​

In the basic version from size 48 upwards, the gearboxes have two shaft ends on the actuator. They have a 2, 3 or 4-stage design with gear ratios from 6.3 to 500. Standardisation of some assemblies has reduced manufacturing costs and shortened delivery times.

​

Rolling bearings


The bearing dimensioning and the load distribution within the gear unit ensure optimum operating conditions for the rolling bearings and guarantee maximum service life.

​

Housing


The compact housings are made of high-quality grey cast iron FGL 250 (NFA 32-101). The design has been optimised by FEM calculations and guarantees maximum rigidity under high loads. Housings in welded steel construction are available on request.

​

Toothing


The ERmaster gearboxes are designed for an oil viscosity of 320 cst at 40°C, or 460 cst at 40°C. Depending on the application and operating conditions, different types of lubrication can be used: Splash lubrication or injection lubrication, optionally with oil heating, constant temperature or oil cooling Due to the low noise level, the lubrication systems are equipped with screw pumps. Through component standardization we offer high-quality elements at reasonable prices.

​

Lubrication


Die ERmaster- Getriebe sind für eine Ölviskosität von 320 cst bei 40°C, oder 460 cst bei 40°C ausgelegt. Je nach Anwendung und Betriebsbedingung können verschiedene Schmierarten zum Einsatz kommen: Tauchschmierung oder Einspritzschmierung, optional mit Ölheizung, Konstanttemperatur oder Ölkühlung. Wegen des niedrigen Geräuschniveaus sind die Schmieranlagen mit Schraubenpumpen ausgerüstet. Durch Bauteil- Standardisierung bieten wir hochwertige Elemente zu günstigen Preisen.

​

Seals


In most cases, maintenance-free, contactless seals are used. This allows perfect circulation of the oil, which flows back into the oil sump after lubricating the rotating parts.

​

Couplings

​

The ERmaster gearboxes are combined with FLEXACIER 9000 and FLEXIDENT couplings to guarantee homogeneity and smooth running of the drive train. Catalogues of these couplings are available on request


Accessories and options
are available:

  • additional output shaft end

  • Protective hoods

  • Backstop

  • Fan

  • Heating

  • Air Cooler

  • and so on …

as accessories for the gearboxes.

​

Controls


All products benefit from the following permanent tests:

  • Control of the suppliers

  • Inspection of incoming goods

  • Production controls

  • Final inspection with test run

  • Corrosion protection according to the environment or storage conditions.

All control criteria comply with the quality standards of ISO 9001.

PRESENTATION


From a traditional crushing mill drive system consisting of a reduction gear, couplings, bearings, etc., CMD has developed the ERmill drive system.
This completely new concept is not only more compact, but also cheaper than a conventional system.
Based on a more compact process, the ERmill is designed in such a way that the coupling is removed together with the coupling rod of the drive unit and the drive wheel and bearings are installed in the reduction gear.
The special feature of the ERmill is that it has a self-aligning, hardened, tempered and ground drive gear on the side, which can compensate for alignment errors.
