Falk Alignment Free Conveyor Drive
The Alignment-Free Drive™
|
Type ABRC
|
Developed by Rexnord specifically to meet the demands of worldwide surface and underground
belt conveyor applications - is a cost-effective alternative to conventional drive
approaches.
The Alignment Free drive offers 40-125 output rpm, compatibility with both NEMA and
IEC motors in ranges from 125 hp (90Kw) to 800 hp (630Kw), and uses fluid or electrical
soft starts.
For the lowest initial costs, backed up with simplified maintenance, minimal downtime
and reduced spares expense, the Alignment Free drive puts teeth into your productivity
plans.
Lowest Initial Cost
Up front, you save as much as 20% over conventional foot mounted approaches. How? By
eliminating expensive foundation and installation costs. A symmetrical housing design
allows the Alignment Free drive to be used in right or left-hand assembly, with only a
dipstick and torque arm relocation.
Reduced Downtime
Shaft misalignment, a major cause of costly failure and downtime, is eliminated. What's
more, the Alignment Free drive offers registered fit and bolt-together construction for
quick, proper assembly and trouble-free operation. The drive is not affected by foundation
movement, and offers superior mobility.
Simplified Maintenance
The Alignment Free drive gives you plenty of value-added features, including "High
Strength" gearing, "Tough Steel" housing construction, and "Magnum" tandem seals. These
extras simplify maintenance, extend operating life-and save on long-term costs.
Extra Soft Starts
The combination of the Falk True Torque™ 1000 Series extended start fluid coupling and the Alignment
Free drive exceeds nearly all requirements for conveyor belt protection and load sharing.
An improved fluid circuit design-with an oversized delay fill chamber and field-adjustable
metering orifices-delivers ultra-low starting torques, and conveyor start times as long as
50 seconds. The Alignment Free Drive also accepts AC and DC motors and controls for
multiple-drive speed and torque control.
Accessories and Options
Standard accessories and options include intermediate
shaft fans, electric fans, coupling guards and high speed backstops. Engineered
options include brakes, flywheels, sump heaters, inching drives, special paint,
and more.
Unique Moisture & Particulate Protection for Enclosed
Gear Drives (Optional Accessory).
Horsepower, Heat, Moisture, and abrasive contamination are constantly working to break down your gear drive lubricant. GMax 6000 is designed to provide superior wear protection in the most demanding gear drive applications. GMax 6000 is a Polyalkylene Glycol based lubricant or PAG. PAG synthetics have exemplary lubricating properties over traditional Polyalphaolefin or PAO Synthetics and mineral oils. The viscosity index of PAG lubricants is double that of PAO lubricants. This means that a PAG will perform much better over the range of operating temperatures experienced by an industrial gear drive.
