Baldor offers same-day build-to-order gearbox service 25 May 2011

Gearbox specialist Baldor has improved its fast turnaround assembly operation, which now has access to a large machine shop, enabling it to provide plants in Europe with a same-day build service.

Tristin Hurst, product manager for Baldor UK, says the facility is capable of building custom-configured power transmission products within hours of order placement.

The new assembly line, he says, can produce high efficiency gearboxes and gearmotors in a wide range of models and sizes from the firm's modular Dodge Quantis family. He also says that Quantis is directly interchangeable with most other gearmotor products.

"Custom gearbox assembly is a popular service with OEMs, end users, system integrators and system maintainers," states Hurst, "but we have now raised the bar significantly.

"Any single-product order placed before 1pm will be available for collection or shipment that day – and the same applies to orders for multiple products placed before midday," he insists.

On offer are Dodge Quantis in-line helical (ILH) and right-angle helical bevel (RHB) speed reducers and gearmotors, in any case size from 38 to 108. The range also includes the Quantis Gold gearmotor, which is based on an IE3 Premium Efficiency motor, and is among the most energy efficient packages available in industry.
