Gearbox design smashes engineering barriers
Considered a breakthrough in the world of industrial transmissions, a gearbox offers a service life of greater than 50,000 hours - 30,000 more than the industry average.
In many cases, costly machining of foundations or base frames can be avoided.
The spherical top of the Vibracon SM element allows deviations of up to 4deg to be accommodated.
This, in combination with the height adjustment capability, eliminates the possibility of a soft foot.
The system is approved by all major classification societies and machinery manufacturers and forms a perfect match with modern laser alignment systems.
The elements are ideal for use in packaged units between machinery and base frames.
They have been widely used in the marine sector and can be found on board ships between foundations and machinery, where the elements can drastically reduce the alignment and mounting time of a propulsion unit.
A Vibraco SM mounting kit is now available which includes foundation and fitting bolts, nuts and spherical washers.
Also included is the plan approval certificate of the classification society of one's choice. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
