Selection and supply for industrial and marine drives

BESTFLOW GmbH supplies industrial and marine gearboxes, geared motors and spare parts for a wide range of drive systems.

Main gearbox types:

• parallel-shaft gearboxes, including those for high-power drives;
• planetary gearboxes;
• worm gearboxes;
• helical and bevel-helical gearboxes.

Geared motors:

• bevel-helical;
• worm-helical;
• flat helical;
• coaxial helical;
• versions for hazardous areas.

Equipment is selected according to the purpose of the drive, the required operating parameters and the operating conditions.
The availability of a specific model or its replacement is determined separately.

Operating parameters, mounting compatibility and spare parts

BESTFLOW GmbH carries out technical selection of gearboxes and compatibility checks when replacing existing equipment.

Depending on the task, technical catalogues, drawings and data of the installed unit are analysed.
Digital tools, including artificial intelligence technologies, may be used to search for equivalents and to match designations. The results are verified against available technical documentation.

The following are taken into account during selection:

• gear ratio, input and output speed;
• transmitted power and torque;
• type and direction of load, duty cycle and operating conditions;
• mounting arrangement, shaft position, flanges and connection dimensions;
• shaft fit dimensions and compatibility with the motor or driven machine.

When replacing a gearbox, not only the overall and connection dimensions are checked, but also suitability for the operating loads and the requirements of the installation. Matching dimensions alone do not guarantee technical interchangeability.

Depending on the model, spare parts may be supplied, including seals, bearings, gear sets and couplings.
The availability of parts and the possibility of supplying a specific version are clarified on request.

Technical documents, drawings and certificates are provided where available and depending on the specific product and delivery terms. Additional documentation requirements are agreed when the order is placed.
