Both Driveline throughput (vehicle in motion) and PTO Aux. Applications cannot be engaged (operated) at the same time. Either the vehicle shall run on the road (Driveline) or in a stationary position the PTO Auxiliary Outputs can be engaged. This VAS Unique feature eliminates the possibility of an auxiliary application accident while vehicle is in motion. If Both Driveline and PTO Aux. applications are required (to be operated) simultaneously, kindly refer to our 300 & 360 series gearboxes which have both driveline & PTO Aux. simultaneous options.
After engaging or disengaging shifters, constant pneumatic air pressure is not required in VAS Gearboxes as a separate ball spring assembly is installed in the shifter assembly to LOCK the shifter shafts after shifting. Pneumatic air pressure is only required to shift (engage or disengage) the shifter shafts, after shifting, pneumatic air pressure can be removed.
Precision Engineering for Demanding Environments
The VAS HI6 industrial helical gearbox stands out for its precision-machined, carburized, and ground helical gears, which minimize operation noise and maximize power transmission. Its parallel gearing arrangement ensures effective torque distribution, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial environments. Quality construction using alloy steel and cast iron guarantees longevity and reliability, providing years of consistent performance.
Designed for Flexibility and Efficiency
With both splash and forced lubrication options and natural or fan-assisted cooling, the HI6 offers flexibility in varied working conditions. It is built for horizontal shaft orientation with foot mounting, allowing easy installation. The blue epoxy coating not only adds corrosion resistance but also enhances visibility and safety in industrial setups. Its high efficiency reduces energy consumption and operational costs over time.
FAQ's of VAS HI6:
Q: How is the VAS HI6 gearbox installed and what mounting type does it use?
A: The VAS HI6 gearbox is designed for foot-mounted installation, which means it can be securely bolted to a stable base or foundation. This configuration ensures simple setup and reliable alignment in horizontal shaft orientations, making it suitable for most industrial machinery.
Q: What are the benefits of the carburized and ground helical gear teeth in the HI6 model?
A: Carburized and ground helical gear teeth offer improved surface hardness, increased durability, and smoother operation. This enhances the gearbox's lifespan, reduces vibration and noise, and results in highly efficient torque transmission for demanding applications.
Q: When should splash versus forced lubrication be used with the HI6 gearbox?
A: Splash lubrication is appropriate for moderate speeds and loads, relying on rotation to distribute lubricant. Forced lubrication, involving pumps or external systems, is preferred when operating at higher speeds, loads, or temperatures to ensure all moving parts receive sufficient lubrication for optimal performance.
Q: Where can the VAS HI6 gearbox be used effectively?
A: This gearbox is ideal for industrial settings such as manufacturing plants, material handling systems, and process industries. Its robust design, horizontal layout, and adaptability to various cooling and lubrication methods make it suitable for heavy-duty and continuous operations.
Q: What process ensures the HI6's high efficiency and longevity?
A: The HI6 incorporates a processing technique involving carburizing and grinding of alloy steel gears, which imparts surface hardness while retaining core toughness. Combined with high-quality cooling and lubrication, this process ensures exceptional efficiency (up to 98%) and a long service life.
Q: How does the HI6's insulation class F enhance its performance?
A: Insulation class F allows the HI6 gearbox to operate at higher temperatures without compromising electrical integrity, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency and reliability during prolonged heavy-duty use.
