BCSA GEAR provides for more than 20 years reducers used in hydroelectricity. The gearbox below is used between a generator and a turbine.
These speed reducers are a replacement and improvement of the old installation. This project shows the BCSA GEAR ability to answer specifics and demanding requests in terms of size, needs matching or installation.
Those different machines have shoe brakes, chain reels, holding tanks, many sensors allowing to prevent risks from overload, chain slackness and position sensors as well.
These gearboxes according to their environment have to be water resistant, consequently we find on those machines watertight casings, stainless steel chains greased by pulverization and also matching paints.
Speed reducer designed for the train industry with many constraints such as vibrations, noise, size or efficiency.
A part of those constraints are due to the fact that this gearbox is embedded to a moving system.
Technically the AS80 is a speed reducer with an epicyclic gear and an aluminium casing. It allows a reduction of 1/5.86 with a high nominal input speed (24,000 rpm).
The reducer allows overspeed up to 28,000rpm.
