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 downtime 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 an enviable
reputation for reliability and long service
in a broad range of industrial applications.

▲ Stronger welding
Gemlux’s Genoa Mk II is a machine
dedicated to automatically cutting
and welding wire rope into a tapered
and twisted end configuration at both
ends. This ensures that the welding is
stronger due to the smaller welding
area, and the tapered configuration
will guarantee an easy insertion of the
cable into any product.
