Gearbox Selection for Printing and Paper Processing Machinery
A selection guide for drive axes in printing, paper feeding and processing machinery.
APPLICATION DETAILS
Application Description
Drive axes in printing and paper processing
Printing and paper processing machines use drives for feeding, conveying, rollers and positioning mechanisms. The requirements depend on the particular axis, its speed profile and its relationship to the rest of the machine.
Selection considerations
- Define roller speed, diameter, maximum load and the required transmission ratio.
- Calculate continuous and peak torque, including acceleration, friction and starts under load.
- Review speed variation, synchronization, positioning accuracy and allowable backlash for the process.
- Check radial and axial loads, mounting orientation, available space and shaft support.
- Match the motor shaft, pilot, mounting pattern and shaft length with the selected gearbox drawing.
Information for selection
Send the mechanism layout, load, roller size, target speed, duty cycle, accuracy requirement and motor drawing. ANDANTEX can review the gearbox and motor interface for the application.
