Application 2

  • Application: Copper Mine Process Air Fan, Dual Drive system / Overrunning clutch for dual drive application
  • Product Name: Overrunning Clutch / Freewheel clutch / Freewheel clutch coupling
  • Model Name:
    • Shaft Mounted: NSO, NR C1C8C9 / NFRC, NHBU E1E8E9 & NHBUFC
    • Foot Mounted: NDU & NHFC
  • Freewheel one way clutch is used as: Overrunning
  • Function: Freewheel one-way clutch disengages automatically when the driven member rotates faster than the driving member.

Fans are used in copper ore processing facilities to exhaust hot air generated by equipment. Fans dealing with high temperature gases need to rotate continuously at low speed when turned off during cooling periods. When the fan's main drive stops, the overrunning clutch engages, secondary motor/gear reducer drivetrain that rotates the fan very slowly. This cooling period is necessary to reduce the temperature of the large squirrel cage fans and 4" diameter shafts, protecting them from sagging and warping damage due to their weight and exposure to elevated temperatures.

The overrunning clutch will automatically disengage the low-speed drive when the main high-speed motor starts, preventing possible damage to the low-speed drive.

Application 7

  • Application: MINING CRUSHER EQUIPMENT
  • Product Name: Keyless Locking Assemblies
  • Model Name: N7515 & N7016.1

Crushing machinery used in mining applications can benefit from the use of NMTG keyless locking assembly which provides advantages over keyed connections.

Problem: Drive and equipment components with old-conventional keyways and bushings are susceptible to backlash, leading to rounded out keyways, fatigue failures, fretting corrosion or a combination of these failure modes. Jaw crushers used heavily in the mining industry, often incorporate keyways and/or expensive sweat or press fit connections.

Solution: NMTG Keyless Locking Assemblies not only eliminate the problems above and are easier to install, but also add these proven advantages:

  • High Torque & Bending Capacity
  • True zero backlash connections,
  • eliminate axial movement during installation
  • suitable for use with both keyed & keyless shafts
  • Infinite adjustability - precise axial & radial repositioning of components
