Powerful bevel gears in flat design for intralogistics

ABM angle gear 08.01.2019 | ABM Greiffenberger presents ABM angular gearboxes suitable for intralogistics, which are available in 2- and 3-stage versions. They offer a high efficiency of over 90% and are therefore significantly more efficient than worm gear with an efficiency of only 40 to 70%.

The angular gears are light, robust and are also suitable for use in harsh environments such as cold stores. Optionally executed pluggable connections on the drives ensure easy installation. The drives are almost maintenance-free and compact, making them ideal for use in confined spaces.

The robust ones Helical geared motors Thanks to their special design as flat gears, they offer a variety of mounting options. In addition, they are energy efficient and quiet. The aluminum housings from our own aluminum foundry ensure low weight and high corrosion resistance of the gear types.

High-speed precision gear for 8500 min^-1

Graessner angle gear Sep 24.09.2015, XNUMX | The highly efficient bevel gear right-angle gearboxes from the “Powergear HS” series MS Graessner were consistently developed for the requirements at highest speeds. With small gear ratios, they offer many advantages for a wide range of applications. Today's modern angular gearboxes must be fast, quiet, reliable and sustainable. Above input speeds over 2000 min^-1 the stress and performance is very high. The Powergear HS gearbox even handles up to 8500 min^-1.

The single-stage gearbox offers different translation variants with one housing. The improved bearing technology and optimized Gleason gear technology with high load capacity and noise-optimized design ensure high precision, high speed and a long service life. Various industries such as machine tools, e-mobility or fast handling systems that use high-speed gears require couplings, flanges or solid shafts on their drives. The gearbox does this.

The output via solid or hollow shaft as well as variable transmissions enable flexible installation with an optimal operating point. Depending on the translation and design, the gears allow drive speeds of 2000 to 8500 rpm^-1. The efficiency in the gearing of about 98% as well as the wide operating temperature range of -30° to +100°C ensure a service life of more than 15.000 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an angle gear?

An angle gear transmits power between non-parallel shafts. This includes:

Bevel: Transmit torque between intersecting shafts and are commonly used in vehicle drives.
worm gear: Enable transmission between axes that are at right angles to one another and often offer a high gear ratio and self-locking.
Hypoid gear: Similar to bevel gears, but with offset axles, allowing for more efficient power transmission, typical of vehicle differential gears.
Spiral bevel gears: A variation of bevel gears with spiral teeth that provide smoother and longer lasting transmission.

Where are angle gears used?

Angle gearboxes are primarily used where the rotational movement and force are transmitted over an angle, typically 90 degrees, must be transferred. Application examples can be found in various industries, including automotive, mechanical engineering, robotics and manufacturing technology. Angle gears are particularly indispensable in areas that require a compact design and precise torque transmission, such as conveyor systems and wind turbines.

Where is a bevel gearbox used?

Bevel gears are typically used in applications that require torque transmission between crossing axes need, usually at an angle of 90 degrees. They are widely used in automobile axles, marine propulsion, aviation, rail vehicles and industrial automation where precise and efficient power transmission across angles is required.
