FLENDER Helical Gear Units with Large Center Distance
As a high-performance transmission solution tailored for heavy-duty industrial scenarios, FLENDER Helical Gear Units with Large Center Distance are engineered to deliver exceptional reliability and efficiency in applications requiring parallel arrangement of large-diameter components. With decades of expertise in drive system engineering, FLENDER has optimized this gear unit series to address the core demands of high-torque transmission, structural flexibility, and long-term stability in harsh operating environments.
A defining feature of this series is its extended center distance design, which enables parallel mounting of motors and large-diameter working components (such as winding drums and impellers) without the need for custom modifications. Constructed with torsionally rigid welded steel housings that undergo stress relief and precise alignment, the gear units effectively withstand extreme radial and axial loads, while minimizing vibration and noise during operation.
The gear units adopt precision-ground helical gears, featuring a large tooth contact ratio and hardened tooth surfaces to ensure smooth meshing, high load-bearing capacity, and reduced wear. Available in 2 to 3 stages with 10 size options for the large center distance variant, they cover a wide range of technical parameters: nominal torques up to 109,000 Nm, power ratings matching diverse industrial needs, and transmission ratios optimized for specific application requirements. Reinforced high-capacity bearings further enhance load absorption capability, adapting to the fluctuating forces in heavy-duty operations.
Equipped with advanced non-contacting labyrinth seals and optimized oil pressure lubrication systems, the gear units prevent lubricant leakage and ensure consistent performance even in dusty, humid, or corrosive environments. Their modular design supports horizontal, vertical, and upright mounting configurations, along with easy integration via dedicated flanges, simplifying installation, maintenance, and future upgrades.
Widely applied in container cranes, bridge cranes, offshore equipment, and large-scale wastewater treatment aerators, these gear units embody FLENDER’s technological leadership. By combining large center distance flexibility, robust construction, and high efficiency, they provide cost-effective and sustainable drive solutions for industries requiring heavy-load transmission and structural adaptability.
FLENDER Reducer Helical Gear Units with Large Center Distance Models, Weights and Motor Combinations
Note: The weights refer to the reducer body (torsionally rigid welded steel housing) and may vary with accessories (e.g., auxiliary oil tanks, reinforced sealing systems) and output configurations. Motor combinations comply with FLENDER standard matching for lifting and luffing scenarios, covering IE2-IE4 efficiency classes, suitable for container cranes, bridge cranes, offshore cranes and drawworks. The transmission efficiency is ≥96%, and the rated torque range is 10,000N·m to 1,400,000N·m.
