Gearbox Selection for Laminating Machines

Laminating machine drives

Laminating machines bring materials together through rollers. Drive requirements depend on the web speed, roller diameter, process load and synchronization with upstream and downstream equipment.

Selection considerations

• Define the roller diameter, operating speed range, load and ratio.
• Calculate continuous and peak output torque, allowing for acceleration, friction and starts under load.
• Review speed stability, synchronization and any positioning or backlash requirements.
• Check roller support, radial loads, mounting orientation, available space and heat near the gearbox.
• Match the motor shaft, pilot and mounting pattern to the selected gearbox drawing.

Information for selection

Send the material and process, roller dimensions, speed, load, duty cycle, layout and motor drawing. ANDANTEX can review the gearbox and interface for the specific drive axis.
