VAS-RGB are in-line transmission gearboxes for reducing main Drive Line speed. RGB can be operated with driveline reduction (2:1, 4:1, 8:1) OR normal (1:1) speed. Typical applications are Chassis Mounted Road Sweepers.
Exceptional Build Quality and Longevity
Crafted from high-grade cast iron or steel, and fitted with precision-machined alloy steel gears, our gearboxes are built to last. The robust housing and corrosion-resistant finish ensure performance even in harsh industrial environments, delivering a long service life with minimal maintenance. Each unit is designed for reliable, continuous operation under high loads, making it a dependable choice for various industries.
Flexible Installation and Versatile Operation
Our gearboxes support both foot and flange mounting, enabling seamless integration into existing setups. With shaft orientation options-parallel or right angle-and output in either hollow or solid shafts, installation is straightforward for new projects or retrofits. The versatile gearing arrangements, including helical, spur, and worm, offer adaptability for a broad range of industrial uses.
High Efficiency with Quiet Performance
Engineered for maximum efficiency, our units deliver up to 98% output, minimizing energy losses. Advanced lubrication-either oil bath or grease-ensures smooth movement and extends gear life, while natural or fan cooling keeps operation stable. The low-noise design enhances workplace comfort without compromising on output torque or speed.
FAQ's of REDUCTION (STEP DOWN) GEARBOX UNITS:
Q: How do I select the appropriate Reduction Gearbox Unit for my application?
A: Consider the required reduction ratio, shaft orientation (parallel or right angle), input/output speed and torque, mounting type (foot or flange), and environmental factors. Our gearboxes accommodate output torque up to 10,000 Nm and power ratings up to 250 kW. Contact our engineering team with specific parameters for optimal selection.
Q: What lubrication and cooling methods are recommended for these gearboxes?
A: Depending on operational load and environment, either oil bath or grease lubrication can be used. For enhanced cooling, units can be natural cooled or equipped with a fan. Proper lubrication and cooling ensure reliability and extend service life.
Q: When should I consider using a foot-mounted or flange-mounted gearbox?
A: Foot-mounted units are ideal for horizontal installations on rigid surfaces, while flange-mounted gearboxes suit applications where space-saving or vertical mounting is required. Your installation environment and equipment orientation will dictate the best mounting type.
Q: Where can these reduction gearbox units be used?
A: They are utilized across numerous industries, including power generation, material handling, conveyors, mining, and manufacturing sectors, thanks to their robust construction, flexibility, and broad output range.
Q: What is the process for installation and commissioning?
A: Install the unit on a clean, level surface using the appropriate mounting type. Align shafts carefully, connect input power, and ensure the enclosure is adequately protected. Fill with recommended lubricant, and run the gearbox briefly at no-load to check for smooth, quiet operation before engaging at full load.
Q: How do these gearboxes benefit industrial operations?
A: Boasting high efficiency (up to 98%), low noise, corrosion-resistant protection, and dust/splash-proof enclosures, our gearboxes reduce downtime, minimize maintenance, and ensure consistent, reliable output over many years.
