Intelligent gear geometry: The name says it all CAVEX®, composed of Latin concavus, the profile of the screw, und convex, the profile on the worm wheel. Thanks worm teeth with concave flank profile (Hollow flank worm), coupled with convex-shaped worm wheels, are CAVEX® comparable worm gear transmissions of the same size far superior. The pair of teeth ensures better osculation of the flanks, allowing a lower specific surface pressure (Hertz pressure). The result:
higher torques of up to 360.000 Nm, best efficiencies of up to 95 % and a significantly longer life by reducing wear. Complete range CAVEX® GmbH & Co. KG offers a full range of CAVEX® worm gears in 18 sizes of 100 to 360.000 Nm. From one stage to multiple stages. In a variety of standard types, as an industry-specific solution or individually tailored to your needs.
The hollow edge cylindrical worm with its globoid worm has a significant difference in relation to the usual versions. The worm teeth have concave flank profile (Hollow flank worm) instead of a straight or convex. This results in special advantages, the ease of understanding are shown greatly simplified because explained and.
The concave-toothing a low specific surface pressure occurs (Hertz pressure) on, and maintaining a separated oil film between the tooth flanks is particularly favored, because hollow flanks touch with convex gear teeth. The profile contact is so much cheaper than in conventional gear teeth, where crowned tooth flanks with convex gear teeth come to engage.
Cavex® Planetary – Optimization to perfection
Convincing arguments speak for themselves:
- Proven CAVEX® gearing in combination with a highly efficient planetary gear
- ATEX execution (optional)
- Extremely compact
- Self-locking (optional)
- High translation variance
CAVEX®-Gearboxes have stood for sophisticated technology for decades, which impresses with its longevity. With the development of the CAVEX®planetary we optimize the CAVEX®-Technology and offer you convincing arguments for its use:
Compact – through the novel combination of snails- and planetary gears we have succeeded, develop a more compact, high torque transmission. Compared to similarly powerful gearboxes, there is a volume saving of up to 70%.
Efficient – mit original CAVEX®-Gear sets and the unique combination with an efficient planetary gear, we achieve the highest levels of efficiency with our new development.
Flexible – With additional options, we can offer you a tailor-made solution. Das CAVEX®planetary is available, for example, in an ATEX version and self-locking toothing.
Our new benchmark in price and performance!
▪ Designed for the food industry and the chemical / pharmaceutical sector
▪ Complete stainless steel
▪ Original CAVEX® teeth
The gear convince all requirements of the "hygienic design" and combine this with the CAVEX® product properties such as high bearing capacity through consistent implementation, to realize the low noise and compact design, with the possibility also high ratios to save space. Thus CAVEX® offers worldwide the first worm gear, the pharmaceutical exclusively for applications in the beverage / food industry and the chemical / industrial developed.
The use of stainless steel and a housing design, which is characterized by rounded outer surfaces, is an optimal cleaning guarantees.
The applications are varied: Food packaging industry / Pharmaceuticals and chemicals
Replicas of older FLENDER worm gear series
CAVEX®-Worm gears are known for their robustness and longevity. Useful lives of 30 – 40 Years are, depending on the application, not uncommon here.
We offer identically constructed equivalents to the old CAVEX®-Series from FLENDER resp. Siemens. This saves you the time-consuming redesign of your system.
