Helical Bevel Gears for open-flume Turbines

In many cases, older hydroelectric power stations are housed in listed buildings. This means that structural changes are not possible. When modernizing power stations with open-flume turbines, it is therefore often necessary to adapt the gear system design to the site conditions, in particular with regard to where the generator is installed.

The gear system series specially developed by Eisenbeiss takes account of these requirements, and the generator can be positioned horizontally by means of a bevel gear. The lubrication system is mounted on the gear unit, creating a compact unit that can be installed on the existing system with minimal effort.

Advantages

Efficiency

Optimized efficiency is achieved through economical gearing and low-friction bearings.

Reliability

The fail-safe lubrication system mounted on the gear unit itself ensures maximum reliability.

Adaptability

Our tried-and-tested design can be adapted to individual circumstances, allowing new gear systems to be supplied with the same connections without the need for further structural modifications.

Fast maintenance

The patented oil extraction system enables quick oil changes and minimizes downtime.

Applications
