What Transmission Is Applied On Your Cold Roll Forming Equipment?

JINSHAN, China - March 28, 2017 - PRLog -- The three commonest transmission methods for roll forming equipment are as following:

• Chain Sprokets
• Worm and Gear
• Coupling Gearbox and Universal Joint-shafts

Different transmission methods will be applied by different manufacturers according to techcnical needs or clients'requests.

Chain sprokets can be applied almost for any transmission usage both in our daily life, like bicycles, and in industrial occassions, like roll formers. Worm and gear and Coupling Gearbox and universal joint shafts transmissions are applied mostly for industrial usage.

In a cold roll forming equipment, suppliers tend to apply chain-sproket tranmission for producing thin metal sheets (less than 3mm) at a normal speed based on the technical needs (gearbox and worm-gear transmission methods are available as per clients' requirements), like corrugated sheet roll forming machine (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/sheet-...),C/Z purin roll forming machine (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/c-and-...) and stud and track roll forming machine (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/lightweight-steel-frames/drywall-stud-and-track-roll-forming-machine/) etc.

In most of roll forming equipment handling materials over 3mm thickness or working at a speed over 20m/min (appro. 80ft/min), gear boxes and universal joint shafts will be mounted, like a highway guardrail roll forming machine (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/crash-barrier-roll-forming-machine-for-w-beam-guardrails/highway-guardrail-roll-forming-machine/); in high precision or accuracy roll formers,  like some stud and track roll forming machines (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/lightweight-steel-frames/), manufacturers also apply apply gearbox and universal joint shaft to drive the machine.
COLD ROLL FORMING MACHINE WITH WORM-GEAR TRANSMISSION.

Worm-gear transmission is usually used on the cold roll former for producing light, thin and small cold formed section steel products at a normal speed (less than 15m/min, appro. 50ft/min), and sometimes can also be applied on a roof panel roll forming machine (http://mtc-china.com/products/roll-forming-machine/sheet-metal-roll-forming-machines/) as per clients' requirements. Worm and gear transmission method is applied not too often, but still there are fans of such transmission because it's lighter than gear-box transmission and ensures stable working of the cold roll forming equipment.

MAXON can design and build roll formers with each of the above mentioned transmission method. You may just advise your preference and proper offer will be made as per your requests.
