Bridge-Mounted Drive Units
|
|
 |
Description
- A low-speed, high-torque, totally enclosed gear drive with positive overload protection
- The drive unit is supported by a bridge completely spanning the tank
- The drive unit has a central output shaft to drive the rakes
- Used in industrial, municipal and mining clarifiers and thickeners
- Typically used on tank sizes from 10 to 100 ft (3 to 30 m) in diameter
|
 |
Features
- Forged alloy steel main gear and pinion designed for 20 years of life calculated per AGMA 2001-C95
- Precision, four-point-contact main bearing, with a 10-year warranty
- Accurate torque gauge calibrated in ft-lbf, N-m or any units desired
- Alarm and cutoff switches and maximum torque limiting via shear pin or pressure relief valve
- No lower pinion bearing, eliminating a common source of drive failure
- Designed for minimum maintenance with permanently lubricated intermediate reducer

Primary Reducer Option
E-type primary speed reducer
The E-type design uses helical gears for speed reduction. It has alarm and cutoff switches and a shear pin to provide triple protection of the drive unit. This design is used where the output speed is outside the limits of the F-type primary speed reducers or when an electro-mechanical type drive unit is desired.
More Information |
 |
F-type primary speed reducer
The F-type design uses a hydraulic pump-motor combination for speed reduction. It has alarm and cutoff switches and hydraulic relief (equivalent to a shear pin in the E-type primary speed reducer) to provide triple protection of the drive unit. This design is positive torque-limiting and will operate under stalled and semi-stalled conditions. Optional reversing rotation and variable speed are available. The torque indication and protection system is equally accurate for operation in either direction.
More Information |
 |
H-type primary speed reducer
The H-type design has all the features of the F-type primary speed reducer. It uses a stand-alone industrial hydraulic power unit. This design is used on higher horsepower and multiple pinion drive applications.
More Information |
 |
W-type primary speed reducer
The W-type design uses helical gears for speed reduction. It has shear pin and shear pin activated cutoff switch to protect the drive unit. This is simplified E-type design used where a torque gauge and adjustable alarm switch are not required.
More Information |
 |
Lift Mechanism Option
|
|
The lift mechanism provides the ability to raise and lower the rakes. The rake lift operates by raising the output shaft into the drive unit. Rake vertical displacement of up to 36 inches (900 mm) can be provided.
The lift mechanism is fully contained within the drive unit. In most cases, the installation of a DBS lift-equipped drive unit is no more complicated than that of a normal non-lifting clarifier drive.
The lift option is offered with manual or powered operation. The powered lift mechanism provides positive lift force control to prevent damage to the rakes or the screw jack.
The DBS powered lift design does not require the lift mechanism to rotate. There are no rotary electrical slip rings to maintain.
More Information
|
F-Type Lift Actuator:
|
A totally enclosed hydraulic speed reducer power the lift jack. |
E-Type Lift Actuator:
|
The actuator utilizes a series of mechanical speed reducers to power the lift jack. |
H-Hype Lift Actuator:
|
A hydraulic motor, powered by the rake primary reducer, operates the lift jack. |
