Customer Success Story
Reduces Emissions and Saves Costs
One of the most renowned German car producer is breaking new ground in the ventilation of its production facilities. The continuous monitoring of key system parts was just one element of the planning process, as a sustainable reduction in emissions also played a major role. The holistic concept for the system was provided by Altmann Industrietechnik, a technology partner certified by Schaeffler. The solution was based on Schaeffler components and a patented 3D motor slide.
Benefits
Reduced friction losses - as a result of converting from a V-belt to a toothed belt drive
Improved signal analysis and visualization in premium quality
Less maintenance work and extended system life
Reduced CO2 emissions
Reduced total cost of ownership
More time available for core tasks
Challenge
Solution
A condition monitoring solution, a lubrication monitoring solution, a 3D motor slide, and a conversion from V-belt to toothed belt.
New patented 3D motor slide
The patented 3D motor slide is being used for the conversion from a V-belt to a toothed belt drive. This ensures optimal running conditions and is particularly suitable for the maintenance and servicing of drive belts. All that is needed to replace the belt drives is to loosen the tensioning unit. The mutual alignment of the drive pulleys remains constant throughout.
What’s Special
Large plummer block housings and other bearing types from Schaeffler were also used in the holistic solution. The automobile manufacturer is 100 percent satisfied with the overall concept and certified technology. As a result, the solution is also envisaged for use in other fan systems.
