Function
In a mechanical system, the rotation of the chained wheel allows expendable parts to be changed.
Technical requirements
- Torque initiation 18 Nm at the hexagon with open-end wrench
- Sealing cylinder for rotary shaft seal required
- Wear-resistant gear tooth system for 18-Nm torque transfer
- Bearing must be line with bearing material to prevent corroding or rusting into
- Predetermined breaking point in the drive train 25 Nm
Profitability
The original 2-part solution “main body as rotating and milling part with mounted bushing“ was replaced by a 3-part plastic-coated solution.
- Cost savings: 65 %
