Harmonic Drive
Folder Collator Drive
Special design for continuous operation
In folders there is a number of applications for high reduction ratio gears which involve high continuous input speeds to the gear. In this case it is important to make appropriate design modifications with respect to sealing and lubrication for high duty cycle operation. This design example shows a specially modified HFUC-2UJ unit with input shaft. This gear is used to drive the collator. This application is associated with high input speeds and the gear therefore features oil lubrication.
In continuous duty it is important that the temperature of the oil does not exceed permissible values and for this reason the quantity of oil may need to be increased. In this example the housing on the input side of the gear is modified to provide additional space to hold the required oil volume. The oil level can be controlled using an oil level indicator.
