HELICAL BEVEL GEAR SYSTEMS
Hydroelectric power stations are often inside listed buildings. The structure of these buildings cannot be altered. If such a power station with open-flume turbines needs to be modernized, it is essential to adapt to the circumstances on site; in particular, the way the generator is situated determines which gear system design is required.
The gear system series developed by Eisenbeiss for such cases takes full account of this and the generator can be positioned horizontally by means of a bevel gear. Because the lubrication system is mounted on the gear unit, this compact unit can easily be installed on the existing system.

APPLICATIONS
HYDROPOWER
The series designed by Eisenbeiss especially for low pressure turbines meets all requirements in terms of space requirements, installation and optimised gear ratios. Naturally, this series also takes into account all the common hydropower malfunction scenarios such as short circuit, power failure and emergency stops. Compared to other products and solutions, Eisenbeiss gear systems deliver higher profits because they deliver the highest efficiency.
