Gear Extension Module

For applications with a high loading capacity and the resulting high torque requirement in conveyor applications, Danfoss introduces the new VLT OneGearDrive ExtensionBox, an extension module for the OneGearDrive (OGD). Thanks to the compact transmission solution, the drive can be extended by means of a simple connection to enable significantly higher torque. With this adaptation, the number of motor variants remains the same, as are all the advantages for users of the VLT OneGearDrive, for example less spare parts storage and lower costs thanks to the lack of manual conversion work. The extension module can be used for applications where high torques occur, such as extremely long conveyor belts, large collection tables in filling plants, or where bottle conveyor systems merge. The gearbox can be attached to the OGD very easily with a torque arm, which has a transformation ratio of 3:1. The system is practically maintenance-free, as it contains no oil. The torque is transferred by a Kevlar toothed belt and therefore avoids the disadvantages of gear stages.
