Heavy-duty shaft mounted gearboxes available for rapid delivery
Renold Gears is promoting its SMX range of heavy-duty shaft mounted gearboxes that are suitable for arduous applications such as in mines and quarries. These gearboxes are available off-the-shelf for fast delivery as part of the company's Rapid Response service.
Renold's SMX gearboxes are manufactured with hardened and profile-ground helical gears for effective power transmission, efficiency, long life, and smooth operation. High-capacity, heavy-duty roller bearings ensure problem-free operation and maximum load-carrying capacity for heavy duty, arduous applications.
The gearbox casings are manufactured from close grain cast iron for robust strength and quiet, vibration-free operation. Both sides of the SMX units are fully machined for face-mounting options and they are interchangeable with Fenner (Eriks), Rexnord, Benzler, Sala and Dodge to enable fast and easy replacement.
Renold's SMX range is also available with a wide range of non-standard options including enhanced seals on the output and input shafts for use in hostile environments, and a sprag clutch backstop option, to prevent drive reversal, such as on inclined conveyors. The units have a long pedigree coming from the same family as Renold's PM, TM and Carter gearbox ranges, sharing their enviable reputation for quality, reliability and service.
