Choosing The Right Drive For The Job

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

Machine Configuration

The installation arrangement and available space are key considerations when selecting a rotary table drive.

Key factors to assess include:

  • Horizontal or vertical installation
  • Available installation space
  • Motor mounting arrangement
  • Required output configuration

Operating Requirements

The drive must deliver the required torque and speed across both continuous machining and positioning operations.

When evaluating operations, consider:

  • Required rated and peak torque
  • Input and output speed
  • Continuous turning requirements

Drive Configuration

DESCH offers different drive concepts to accommodate specific machine architectures and performance requirements.

Some of our options include:

  • Switchable planetary gearbox
  • Single- or multi-stage configurations
  • Electrical or hydraulic gear shifting

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 drive according to DESCH instructions.
  • Follow the specified lubrication and oil requirements.
  • Regularly inspect the gearbox, connections and output components for abnormal wear or operating conditions.
  • Monitor operating temperature, noise and vibration to identify potential issues early.
