BOGIFLEX
​
PRESENTATION
​
The BOGIFLEX is a floating (shaft-mounted) reduction gear with self-adjusting transmission(s) that allows the reduction of contact surface defects that occur in standard gear trains where the gears rotate in fixed bearings. This means that it is perfect for harsh environments such as high temperatures, severe shocks, deformed materials, vibrations, flexible bearings, etc. ...flexible bearings.
The BOGIFLEX allows the transmission of high torques at low speeds and has an extremely wide reduction range.

- LS shaft and bearings designed to withstand tail beam coupling effects
- Shock absorbing tooth engagement force compensation by elastically supported output sprocket
- Measurement and monitoring of the output torque absorbed by the mill
​
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- Input speed up to 1800 rpm
- Gear ratio up to 500 : 1
- Bearings with a calculated life of L10h > 120 000 h according to ISO 281

ERMASTER
​
CMD has developed the new ERmaster range of gearboxes for driving heavy industrial machinery under tough operating conditions. This new generation meets customer requirements in every respect:
-
low noise emission
-
utmost availability
-
reduced maintenance costs
​
In the basic version from size 48 upwards, the gearboxes have two shaft ends on the actuator. They have a 2, 3 or 4-stage design with gear ratios from 6.3 to 500. Standardisation of some assemblies has reduced manufacturing costs and shortened delivery times.
​
Rolling bearings
The bearing dimensioning and the load distribution within the gear unit ensure optimum operating conditions for the rolling bearings and guarantee maximum service life.
​
Housing
The compact housings are made of high-quality grey cast iron FGL 250 (NFA 32-101). The design has been optimised by FEM calculations and guarantees maximum rigidity under high loads. Housings in welded steel construction are available on request.
​
Toothing
The ERmaster gearboxes are designed for an oil viscosity of 320 cst at 40°C, or 460 cst at 40°C. Depending on the application and operating conditions, different types of lubrication can be used: Splash lubrication or injection lubrication, optionally with oil heating, constant temperature or oil cooling Due to the low noise level, the lubrication systems are equipped with screw pumps. Through component standardization we offer high-quality elements at reasonable prices.
​
Lubrication
Die ERmaster- Getriebe sind für eine Ölviskosität von 320 cst bei 40°C, oder 460 cst bei 40°C ausgelegt. Je nach Anwendung und Betriebsbedingung können verschiedene Schmierarten zum Einsatz kommen: Tauchschmierung oder Einspritzschmierung, optional mit Ölheizung, Konstanttemperatur oder Ölkühlung. Wegen des niedrigen Geräuschniveaus sind die Schmieranlagen mit Schraubenpumpen ausgerüstet. Durch Bauteil- Standardisierung bieten wir hochwertige Elemente zu günstigen Preisen.
​
Seals
In most cases, maintenance-free, contactless seals are used. This allows perfect circulation of the oil, which flows back into the oil sump after lubricating the rotating parts.
​
Couplings
​
The ERmaster gearboxes are combined with FLEXACIER 9000 and FLEXIDENT couplings to guarantee homogeneity and smooth running of the drive train. Catalogues of these couplings are available on request
Accessories and options
are available:
-
additional output shaft end

Control of the suppliers
-
Inspection of incoming goods
-
Production controls
-
Final inspection with test run
-
Corrosion protection according to the environment or storage conditions.
All control criteria comply with the quality standards of ISO 9001.
ERMILL
​
ERMILL : SINGLE SIDE DRIVE FOR CRUSHING MILLS

PRESENTATION
From a traditional crushing mill drive system consisting of a reduction gear, couplings, bearings, etc., CMD has developed the ERmill drive system.
This completely new concept is not only more compact, but also cheaper than a conventional system.
Based on a more compact process, the ERmill is designed in such a way that the coupling is removed together with the coupling rod of the drive unit and the drive wheel and bearings are installed in the reduction gear.
The special feature of the ERmill is that it has a self-aligning, hardened, tempered and ground drive gear on the side, which can compensate for alignment errors.
