Right Angle Gear Drives Provide Directional Motion Change



Lubricated for life with Beacon 325 premium grade grease, Zero-Max Crown drives feature heat treated AGMA Class 10 spiral bevel gears. "This combination of bearing design and lubrication formulation ensures long term, maintenance free operation for high performance industrial applications," said a company spokesperson. "The drives feature long life, precision hardened and ground ball bearings handling speeds up to 2,000 RPM in most operating environments. The internal gears are permanently mounted to the shafts with locking pins. This provides a very resilient and durable connection for use in heavy load applications while requiring no maintenance."

According to the company, lubrication with Beacon 325 grease ensures optimum performance in temperature ranges from -50 °C to +120 °C without evaporation. This is especially important in sealed for life systems using motors, generators and similar equipment in industrial applications.

"Zero-Max drives are designed for smooth operation, and similar model sizes have identical performance characteristics when designed into multiple drive set-ups," said the spokesperson. "To accomplish this, Zero-Max drives are precision assembled for enhanced bearing and gear alignment. The drives are pre-lubricated during assembly, and then completely enclosed in a heavy-duty anodized aluminum housing. This design ensures that internal gears stay permanently aligned, lubricated and free of contamination from outside debris."

Zero-Max Crown drives are designed for a range of machine applications including food processing, packaging and material handling systems. They are also designed for a wide range of horsepower, torque and shaft speed requirements. Standard two and three way models are available with 1:1 and 2:1 speed ratios in shaft diameter combinations of 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4".
