GSM Project - Hot rolling of steel plate + structured coil

As discussed in previous articles STM UK have started to establish themselves - working with GSM Italy - in the middle to heavy industry gearbox market.

Below you will find some further examples of this with technical information and pictures; regarding one of the recently completed projects. 

It is worth mentioning at this point that during the past few years STM UK have been working closely with Bauer UK on some of these projects, to provide a complete range of drive solutions for any industry and any application.  We are very happy to be working alongside Bauer and believe it benefits our customers, and theirs, to offer such a comprehensive range.

Here's what our South of England Sales Manager and expert on all things GSM - Martin Benham - had to say about this project;

"Working in partnership with Danfoss Bauer UK we have recently supplied a drive system to be used on a new combination mill for the hot rolling of steel plate and structured coil for a new plant based in Brazil.

This simple arrangement consists of two large helical-bevels (RXV2/820) with a ratio of 27.1:1 positioned either side of the smaller drive unit (RXO1/808) at 7.79:1.  This smaller unit is then coupled to the input shafts of the RXV2/820.  This will give a uniform, equal speed of 7rpm from a 4pole 75kw motor which is in turn bolted to the RX01/808.  Some special requirements were requested by the client, for example reduced hollow output bore diameters which were carried out by STM/GSM of Italy".

As you can see from this article - and some previous - STM UK are really starting to make a name for themselves in the heavy duty gearbox market, through the hard work and dedication of the company to providing a complete range of drive solutions for our customers.  Martin in particular should be singled out for praise, for the work he has put in to making these projects a success.

We have told you our story; it's time to tell us yours.  If you think STM can work for you give us a call today and let us find the best possible solution for you.

We look forward to speaking with you soon
