The Bruchsal, German-based firm gives engineered techniques for industries together with automotive, meals and beverage, prescription drugs, mining, metal, logistics, power, and extra.
New merchandise maintain techniques keep cool for important purposes
As HIG drive techniques develop extra compact and power-dense, thermal administration turns into important, stated SEW‑EURODRIVE. It claimed that its exterior lubrication techniques deal with that problem, with configurations that guarantee oil is delivered, circulated, and cooled as wanted for industrial purposes.
The corporate stated obtainable techniques embody oil-to-air cooling (OAP1), oil-to-water cooling (OWP1), and strain lubrication techniques with out cooling (ONP1). Every sort is sized utilizing SEW‑EURODRIVE’s thermal validation instruments and might be gearbox-mounted or skid-mounted for flexibility in format and upkeep entry.
As well as, the brand new exterior lubrication techniques are designed to help thicker startup oil viscosities as much as 5,000 cSt, stated SEW-EURODRIVE.
SEW-EURODRIVE presents modular and normal choices
SEW‑EURODRIVE stated its Oil Cooling and Provide Methods might be tailor-made to robotic builders and machine integrators’ particular necessities. They embody modular, sensor-ready options to help system reliability and monitoring.
Commonplace stocked choices embody:
• Duplex oil filters (25µm) — permits filter change throughout operation
• Electro-optical contamination pop-up indicator
• Oil manometer gauge
• Oil thermometer gauge
• Oil strain swap
• Oil temperature swap — all to observe the gearbox oil sump in actual time
These normal choices are in inventory and able to configure, in line with SEW-EURODRIVE. As a result of these techniques are assembled within the U.S., supply instances have been decreased from 14 to twenty weeks to as little as six weeks, the firm stated.
“With native meeting and normal stocked parts, we are able to now ship full exterior thermal administration options in six weeks—serving to our clients get their HIG techniques up and operating quicker and extra reliably,” acknowledged Austin Burdette, product supervisor at SEW‑EURODRIVE HIG USA.
