Tevox® Direct Drive

The Tevox® direct drive is an integrated system solution combining a planetary gearbox, safety clutch and electric motor for shredders, crushers and other recycling applications. Its modular design delivers energy-efficient performance, overload protection, and flexible configuration options, making it ideal for demanding applications with high alternating loads.

  • Energy-efficient electric drivetrain
  • Designed for applications with high alternating loads
  • Wear-resistant safety clutch for overload protection
  • Defined slip torque protects against shock torques
TypesSingle- to multi-stage planetary gearboxes
Output TorqueT = 10 – 400 kNm
Output Speedn = 3 – 200 rpm

Choosing The Right Drive For The Job

There’s a lot to consider when choosing the right DESCH product for your specific application.

Conditions

From environmental exposure to system constraints, the right solution must align with how your equipment runs.

Key factors to assess include:

  • Nominal and peak torque requirements
  • Output speed
  • Load spectrum and duty cycle

Use Case

The key is not where they’re used, but how they perform in your application.

When evaluating use cases, consider:

  • Frequency and severity of shock loads
  • Continuous versus alternating operation
  • Requirement for electric replacement of an electro-hydraulic drivetrain

Configuration

Tevox® uses a modular system architecture that allows the gearbox, clutch, motor and machine connection to be configured around the application.

Available configuration considerations include:

  • Single-stage or multi-stage planetary gearbox
  • Required transmission ratio
  • Shrink-disc connection with torque arm

Maintain For Longevity

While DESCH products are engineered for long-term performance, appropriate maintenance helps protect reliability, extend service life, and prevent avoidable downtime.

  • Install and commission the Tevox® system according to DESCH specifications and instructions
  • Maintain the specified gearbox lubrication and operating conditions
  • Monitor torque, speed and operating conditions where applicable
  • Inspect the gearbox, clutch and mechanical connections for signs of wear, damage or abnormal movement
