Special gears
Examples of customized drives:
- Gearboxes for floatation machines
- Gearboxes for Paper machines (Yankee drive, ..., Winch drive)
- Kiln drives
- Mill drives
Customers in the conditions of the global market have a wide choice of drive suppliers of serial products for a reduced price. But often the customer's choice boils down to:
- Customized/Special drives designed specifically according to the needs of their use, proven years of experience during the operation and increased durability but sometimes at the cost of purchase
- Standard products from serial production with very limited options lower initial investment cost, but uncertain duration and total cost during whole lifetime.
Initial costs of special gearboxes are usually higher in relation to serial products but after the lifetime and reliability come out as favourable. This is valid most for large and heavy machinery where the cost for every emergency stop are not comparable with the initial cost.
