Complete Press Drive

The KA replaces the complete spur gear transmission or reduction stage in punching machines, eccentric presses and knuckle-joint presses, or suchlike, in which the energy required by the machine is taken from a fast-running flywheel. The ready-to-install unit comprised of a single-stage high-performance planetary gearbox, a flywheel for energy storage as well as a pneumatically or hydraulically actuated clutch/brake combination.

Torque range from 16 kNm to 160 kNm
Gear ratios 4 and 6

This flywheel direct drive is a further development of the DESCH standard complete drive, which has already proven itself time and again in numerous applications. A highly efficient torque motor is integrated into the flywheel. It works almost wear-free and provides the highest rate of power density within the smallest installation space. The benefit of this to the machine manufacturer is that the previous motor, the motor bracket and the complete belt drive are not required. This in turn simplifies the assembly of the press and also saves assembly time.

The DESCH ECO-KA is a high-quality complete press drive (KA) with a planetary gearbox, flywheel and pneumatically operated clutch/brake combination (CBC) that is standardized to the following main components:

• a fast-running standard flywheel from which large amounts of energy can be extracted even at very low output speed
• a high-performance planetary gearbox with a gear ratio of i = 5,7, with a effectivity over 98% and extremely low moments of inertia
• a tried and tested pneumatically operated clutch-brake combination for permanent, low-wear operation with a clamping set connection to the clutch shaft and options that allow you to adapt to difficult operating conditions.

Torque range from 1 kNm to 125 kNm
