At Riduttori Italia we Design Solutions, Starting From Your Needs.

Customized solutions are increasingly in demand in the field of power reducers: the ability to respond to the specific needs that companies express to achieve higher standards of durability, precision, and reliability is fundamental in choosing a partner for the development of high-power right-angle gear reducers.

This was the case for a project we carried out for a large mining plant in the Caucasus region. A reducer designed for the movement of large conveyor belts, subjected to a demanding workload.

Where did we start?

Starting from a technical drawing, we developed the 3D project and designed all the static components (casings and various parts) and dynamic components (bevel gear, gears, shafts...) by calculating all the relevant dimensional aspects. This was a task for our technical department, which created the detailed designs and calculations for each individual component.

What did we create?

A powerful right-angle gear reducer was needed, where the speed/torque combination was particularly efficient and ensured the realization of a reliable reducer once installed at the site of use.

Right-angle gear reducers are mechanical devices designed to transmit power between two shafts positioned at 90 degrees to each other. This configuration allows for effective power transmission in confined spaces, making them ideal for many industrial applications.

The main features of a right-angle gear reducer are:

• Right-Angle Configuration: The input and output shafts are positioned at a right angle, facilitating integration into limited spaces.
• Gear Types: They use bevel gears designed to reduce speed and increase torque.
• Power and Torque Variability: These reducers can vary significantly in power, ranging from 0.12 kW to 200 kW, with torques up to 50,000 Nm, depending on the model and application.

The client specifically requested that the reducer be characterized by:

• Efficiency: A reducer with high operational efficiency and relatively low operating costs, thanks to a design that ensures a robust structure and minimal maintenance.
• Reliability: The solid construction must guarantee long life even under demanding operating conditions and harsh environmental and climatic contexts.
• Energy Efficiency: A reducer where the bevel gear ensures good energy efficiency, contributing to reducing consumption during operation.
• High Load Capacity: A reducer designed to withstand high loads, thanks to the robustness of the gears and their tooth design.

The result of this project is a reducer specifically built based on the client's specifications. After functional testing at Riduttori Italia, it was shipped to the client for installation in the designated plant, performing its intended function efficiently and safely.

We design solutions based on your needs.

In summary, the choice between a right-angle gear reducer and other types depends on the specific requirements indicated by the client and the application context, including factors such as available space, required load, and desired efficiency.

For this reason, we bring together expertise, technology, and design capability combined with a solid and long-standing manufacturing experience.
