Genset Gear Systems

Eisenbeiss offers special gear systems for 60 Hz generator sets that enable the same gas engines to be used as for a 50 Hz grid. The speed of the generator is adapted by the gear unit to output a frequency of 60 Hz at the nominal speed of the motor. The single-stage spur gear system developed especially for this application is the optimum solution for power outputs of up to 7 MW. For special applications these gear units can also be implemented as a changeable-speed gearbox for testing transformers with different frequency outputs, for example.

The teeth and the bearings inside the gear unit have been optimized for low-friction operation so that these units achieve an efficiency of up to 99.5%. Heat dissipated by the gear system can be reused as an energy source.

The limited space between the engine and the generator led Eisenbeiss to design an exceptionally compact unit with high power density. All lubrication, cooling and monitoring is integrated in the gear unit itself, making installation much easier. By using contactless labyrinth sealing rings, frictional losses are further reduced and maintenance intervals are extended. Our gears are also easy to repair and widely recyclable.
