FLENDER planetary gear units
With the FLENDER planetary gear unit series, Siemens provides also standardized gear unit solutions for higher power rating ranges in the proven FLENDER quality. With 27 sizes and seven basic types the PLANUREX series ensures torque ranges of up to 2,600,000 Nm and transmission ratios of 4,000:1.
The specific requirements to be taken into account for bucket wheel, slewing gear and travelling gear drives in the field of materials handling have already been realized in standardized products. Get your benefit from the advantages of a standard product available for your industry.
The new gear units of the FLENDER SIG series are extremely compact and provide even higher torques for the same size. In addition, the torque grading was harmonized with the result that the customer will always find the right gear unit.
The new mounting options and the unique options of add-on pieces and coolers offer the customer considerably more flexibility when planning and designing his plant. Highest quality and interdisciplinary knowledge of the drive train as well as improved rolling bearing life and, if requested, dustproof TACONITE seals ensure continuous reliable operation and low life cycle costs.
The new industrial gear unit series setting high standards will successively replace the standard FLENDER gear unit series which was tried and tested a hundred thousand times.
Today, just one year after launching them onto the market, Siemens is offering all seven types of FLENDER SIG for horizontal mounting. The Siemens modular gear unit kit enables a huge range of possible variants to be constructed – which means that FLENDER SIG is available to you in many sizes for base or shaft mounting right now.
Advantages
- Low weight and compact, place-saving design owing to a load sharing system
- Saving operating expenses owing to high efficiencies and optimized maintenance intervals
- Easy to combine with other gear units, e.g. primary helical, worm, bevel, or bevel-helical gear units
- Low-noise running owing to low rolling and sliding speeds at the tooth flanks
