Design Features

The conservative load carrying capacity of the larger diameter rolling element bearings ensures an extended operating life.

Timing gear life is also extended by controlled lubrication systems.

The computer calculated impeller profiles ensure maximum volumetric efficiency with minimum absorbed power without sacrificing torsional rigidity.

The high rigidity of the impeller / shafts permits a higher pressure rise to be obtained than with other machines of comparable size.

The generous shaft diameter keeps drive stresses low. Gear and shaft strength is substantially increased by the use of taper mounted gears which do not need keyways for location.

Setting of the gear wheels to obtain correct timing of the impellers is simplified, a feature that facilitates field maintenance.

Precision ground and hardened steel gears are used to ensure smooth, silent running and accurate tming of the rotating impellers.

A controlled lubrication system is provided to ensure efficient operation without waste of energy in the gearcase.

Specially designed rotary oil seals are used in the gearcase. This feature eliminates maintenance associated with the use of lip seals.

Design and manufacture is in accordance with metric standards.

Specification

CASING: The cylinder and headplates are manufactured from cast iron. The gearcase is manufactured from aluminium.

IMPELLERS AND SHAFTS: The impellers are made from SG iron, and cast with integral shafts. The shaft diameter of machines in the HR Blowers range is larger than that of earlier designs, enabling increased operating pressures to be achieved without increasing blower size.

GEARS: The precision ground and hardened steel spur gears are taper mounted onto the impeller shafts. The timing of the impellers relative to each other is accurately maintained at all times.

BEARINGS: The bearings are of generous proportions to give long operational life. Grease lubricated double row ball bearings are used at the drive end of the blower. In addition to their normal duty of carrying radial loads associated with the differential air pressure on the rotating impellers, the ball bearings provide axial location of the impellers. Parallel roller bearings at the rear end splash lubrication by oil from the gears.

LUBRICATION: An advanced design of controlled gear wheel lubrication enables the gears to operate at a high pitch line velocity without the need for an oil pump. Simple, maintenance free oil throwers fitted behind each bearing in the gearcase prevent leakage of oil.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION: Detachable mounting feet enable the blower to be positioned for either vertical or horizontal air flow. Standard machines have a right hand drive shaft for vertical air flow, and a bottom drive shaft for horizontal air flow. If machines are required with a left hand or top drive shaft, all that needs to be done is turn the gearcase and trough through 180º. Centre timing permits clockwise or anticlockwise drive shaft rotation.
