Drives installed in steel plants have to defy hardest environmental conditions. The water-cooled drives designed by WATT have been especially developed for the demanding environment of the steel industry. In combination with a WEG roller table motor, a reliable and efficient drive is created.
Steel production demands most reliable products resulting from the high investment costs of such machinery.
The main task of the roller table drives is to accelerate and decelerate the slabs on the machinery. Owed to extreme environmental temperatures in combination with high acceleration torque, the special gears have been designed with an integrated water jacket and a spheroidal graphite iron housing.
Technical specialties of the gears:
The use of qualitatively high drive technique ensures low maintenance- and service costs.
WATT steelwork gears:
The drives are available in various variants:
Gear characteristics:
WEG Special motors:
The ample and worldwide available motor programme of WEG allows a project-oriented supply of numerous mechanical and electrical options.
The motors can be assembled as circular finned motors of spheroidal cast iron or as unventilated grey cast iron motors. It either can be mounted with a motor adapter or directly, which would increase the efficiency.
