Fenner, a leading brand in BMG’s extensive range of power transmission components, encompasses shaft mounted speed reducers (SMSRs), transmission belts, pulleys and accessories, as well as shaft fixings, chain drives and couplings.
“BMG takes great pride in supplying these highly acclaimed Fenner products, which are enhanced by Fenner’s global pledge to quality assurance,” says Mark Barbour, ElectroMechanical business unit manager, BMG. “This commitment guarantees that the quality of Fenner products always meets exacting internationally recognised industry standards.
“Key components in BMG’s Fenner range are highly flexible SMSRs that provide an efficient method of reducing speed in diverse applications, including conveyors, mixers and mills, as well as cranes and hoists.
“Fenner SMSRs, which have a smaller inventory of parts than conventional models, ensure a good power/weight ratio within compact dimensions. Benefits over other drive systems include simplicity, minimal spares requirements, ease at which you can change the speed, ideal backstop position and the use of standard motors.”
The latest Fenner SMSR series – the PowerPlus range – offers a 50% increase in power to weight ratio over previous versions and is capable of handling powers between 0,25 kW and 250 kW. These units have a more compact design for easier handling and a wider range of bore sizes.
The Fenner Taper-Grip bush locking system transmits 300% more torque and accommodates shaft tolerance to h11. This locking system allows the SMSR to be mounted directly on the driven shaft, instead of requiring foundations of its own and eliminates the need for flexible couplings and external belt take-up arrangements.
The Taper-Grip system also simplifies installation and removal of the gearbox and enables the transmission of gear unit loads without a key. This fully interchangeable unit is resistant to fretting corrosion and has a significantly improved shaft grip.
BMG is thus uniquely positioned to meet the exact gear drive and motor requirements of contractors, designers and the end-user in diverse industries. A team of highly skilled technicians offers a technical advisory and support solution service and a substantial stockholding ensures a quick and efficient delivery throughout the southern African region.
