Thanks to integrated cooling and special seals, driver gears from Eisenbeiss are ideally suited to the extreme operating conditions in close proximity to a slab of glowing steel. For this harsh environment lubricant pumps have been developed that work without an external power supply and ensure that the gearing is lubricated reliably even in the case of extreme temperature differences.
In view of the very limited space available on continuous casting lines, the driver units are built with very compact dimensions. That is why the Eisenbeiss gear systems feature bevel gear stages; this makes it possible to set the motors at an angle of 90° to the driver rolls – aligned either vertically or horizontally.
