Gearboxes upgrade from CMS

CMS has recently supplied a set of gearboxes for an Indian steel rolling mill upgrade through its Shackleton Engineering Gearbox Division. The key objective for the project was to upgrade the gearboxes in the steel rolling mill with the minimum of down- time and disruption to production The drive system for the steel rolling mill comprised: 5.5 ton gearbox for the main coiler rated at 17kW; 2.5 ton gearbox for the slitter rated at 55kW; 2.5 ton gearbox for the shear drive rated at 55kW; 0.4 ton gearbox for the die set drive rated at 62kW and a 0.2 ton gearbox for the leveller rated at 200 kW. The gearboxes were all designed to the high quality case hardened and ground gear standard (DIN 3990-5). The external dimensions were specified as direct replacements for existing gearboxes to minimise replacement time and eliminate any foundation work in a production environment. The gearboxes were manufactured, assembled and fully tested in-house before customer inspection and shipping. Since installation, the customer has experienced increased productivity and reliability from this production line. Shackleton gearboxes are installed worldwide and have a reputation for reliability and long service.
