Drive Systems for Steel and Foundry Applications
Drive Systems for Steel and Foundry Applications
Metal production facilities often operate in extreme environments, with high temperatures, constant vibrations, and accumulation of dust and debris. Any combination of these elements can wear down your equipment that powers the movement of parts.
Demag offers a complete solution to your steel and foundry transfer car needs. Our drive systems are strong, reliable, and built for the intensity that foundry applications often bring.
Industrial Gear and Motor Systems Built for Extreme Environments
From heavy loads to extreme environments, equipment must continue to thrive under these intense conditions. If you're searching for a product that specializes in foundry and steel environments, we offer the following key product offerings that will complete your overall drive system:
| Product | Built For |
|---|---|
| RS Wheel Block System | Operation in temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This system offers integrated connections for components such as torque brackets, buffers, and guide roller arrangements. |
| DWS Wheel Sets | Heavy loads, such as steel coils, can seamlessly be moved along rails, providing smooth and precise movement. This wheel set offers flexible installation in hollow or corner bearing areas. |
| Right Angle & Offset Gear Motors | When heavy steel loads require start-and-stop movement, these offer efficient braking and the raw torque needed for efficient movement. Torque range is from 22 to 10,178 ft-lbs (30 to 13,800 Nm). |
| Z Cylindrical-Rotor Motors | Simplify your material handling needs through these specialized motors that deliver output up to 72 HP (45 kW). This will promote efficient and continuous operations. |
How Our Products Transform Movement for Steel Foundry Transfer Cars
Our simplified yet robust integrated drive components power controlled movement across the facility floor. Furnace transfer cars or raw material transfer cars can easily be transported, feeding the furnace, moving molten metal, and supporting downstream production processes.
Many production lines also require power carts that can handle large rolls of metal. Our complete driven wheel solutions allow these heavy loads to be transferred to their required destination in the facility. Especially for unique requirements, the modularity of our products allows you to create a system that is safe for the heavy bearings of various supplies.
Advantages of Our Drive Technology
- A simplified approach – Our drive systems are designed with the goal of simplified system integration.. We eliminate the need to source products from different places, as each part integrates seamlessly into a single unified product.
- Works for a wide range of applications – Any type of application in the steel and foundry environment that is moving from point A to point B can be powered by our motion solutions.
- Engineered for maximum longevity – Once our drive technology is integrated into your operations, designed for minimal maintenance requirements. Our products are engineered for long service life under demanding conditions and can last for decades, reducing the risk of downtime from any malfunction.
