50% more power to drive conveyors
Designed to power bulk handling equipment and conveyors, the maximum output torque of medium/heavy duty helical gearboxes has been increased by over 50%.
The F2, which is entirely designed, manufactured and assembled in Europe, employs fewer components than previous models.
A further feature of David Brown's F2 range is its dry fit capability, which means that the motors can be removed and replaced simply and without exposing the gearbox.
In some lower specification units currently on the market the absence of this feature commonly leads to loss of lubricant and increased maintenance costs.
F2 is the product of careful development by David Brown and its European sister company Benzlers.
The company added that it represents an ongoing investment in its modular geared motor range, using many common components from the Series M, K and C ranges already available.
This not only makes specification of the most suitable geared motor unit easier for all sections of the supply chain, but significantly reduces inventory requirements.
General manager standard products at David Brown, Chris Morrell, said: "This latest development continues David Brown's commitment to providing a smarter range of products with real benefits for the customer.
It will also help to extend our cooperation with distributor partners to offer 'off-the-shelf' availability, plus a wealth of applications experience and practical advice to all sections of the market place".
The modular approach to F2's design and construction means that 600 elements can be combined to create a staggering ten million assembly permutations, said the company to manufacturingtalk, in terms of capacity, configuration and application suitability.
