One of the biggest challenges in mining operations is the need to assemble equipment in cramped spaces, often resulting in unusual machinery configurations. To address this problem, Hansen gearbox developers created the UniMiner, a unique gear unit designed to meet the needs of mining and other applications involving bulk materials. The alignment-free, sealed design the UniMiner Hansen gearbox allows it to adapt easily to a variety of mounting configurations. Here’s a look at some of the benefits of these versatile Hansen gearboxes:
Flippable housing. The unique Hansen gear housing design on the UniMiner allows for a variety of different mounting arrangements to fit the needs of the many unique and often inconvenient configurations frequently found in mining operations. This split Hansen gear housing design also makes the unit easy to service.
Precision gearing. The gears within a UniMiner Hansen gearbox are carburized and ground for precision to ensure the unit not only delivers maximum capacity with minimal loss, but operates quietly to boot.
Smooth operation. A smooth-running gearbox is a long-lived gearbox. Hansen gearboxes featuring the UniMiner design use a combination of different bearing types – including spherical, cylindrical and tapered – to ensure smooth operation.
Accessories. To further improve the versatility of UniMiner gearbox, Hansen also provides a selection of accessories for unique applications, including scoop brackets, lantern housings and belt drive arrangements.
