Concentric reducers offer 'highest torque rating per case size'
Baldor is introducing the new Dodge Maxum XTR concentric reducer, a compact, power-dense design in a rugged ductile iron housing. The reducer features a superior sealing system, long-life bearings and benefits from industry-preferred dimensions.
The Maxum XTR reducer is claimed to offer more torque rating per case size than any other concentric reducer on the market. The high-precision carburised and ground gearing meets AGMA Q11 Quality standards, as well as the AGMA 2301 cleanliness specification.
Baldor has fitted the reducer with a standard premium tandem seal system with HNBR oil seals protected by an excluder lip auxiliary seal on all shafts. These seals provide high-temperature protection and minimise shaft wear, while providing twice the security to prevent the ingress of contaminants.
Longer-life tapered and/or spherical roller bearings, designed to meet or exceed AGMA standards, are used throughout the reducer. These bearings are claimed to provide a minimum unadjusted L-10 life of over twice that of any other competitive concentric reducer.
Dodge Maxum XTR concentric reducers are available in nine case sizes, with torque ratings from 29,500 in-lbs to 579,000 in-lbs torque. Reducer accessories include internal high-capacity backstops, shaft-driven fans, a scoop motor bracket package, or top motor mounts.
