| Output Torque | T = 10 – 400 kNm |
| Output Speed | n = 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
