Distributor Gears for Dredgers

Reliability and efficiency for maritime applications
Eisenbeiss distributor gears for dredgers are robust and reliably engineered to withstand extreme conditions in maritime environments, which are often harsh and corrosive. These gear systems offer high efficiency to minimize energy losses and allow precise control of power distribution. Good accessibility for maintenance is essential to ensure smooth operation and a long service life.

Eisenbeiss uses distributor gears with 2-4 output shafts to distribute the power of the main motor to secondary applications such as the cutting head, the winches, and the hydraulic cylinders for the pile drive. Power is distributed via intermediate gears that transfer the torque precisely to each of the output shafts. High fluctuations in power between the distribution gear outputs are compensated by a careful selection of bearings and an optimized cooling and lubrication concept.

The limited installation space on a ship presents a challenge that Eisenbeiss meets with an extremely compact design of gear unit and a high power density. All lubrication, cooling and monitoring can be installed directly on the gear system to make installation much easier. In addition, these gear systems are easy to repair and can be recycled to a high degree, promoting sustainability and cost effectiveness.

Advantages

Robust and proven design

Eisenbeiss distribution gears for dredgers offer high efficiency and reliability in harsh maritime envi-ronments.

Compact Layout

Thanks to optimized installation dimensions and a high power density, these gear systems are partic-ularly suitable for tight spaces on ships.

Inhouse-developed cooling and lubrication concept

The shaft/hub connection between the gear unit and the hydraulic pump is efficiently cooled and greased by a specially-developed concept.

Low installation costs

All peripheral devices, such as oil pump and cooling system, can be mounted and pre-calibrated, sig-nificantly reducing installation costs.
