Hansen Transmissions - Gear Units and Power Transmission Products

For more than 85 years, Belgium-based Hansen Transmissions has worked in close cooperation with its customers for the worldwide supply of innovative and reliable gear drives.

GEAR DRIVES AND COMPLETE DRIVE SOLUTIONS

Renowned worldwide for the design, manufacture, sales and service of our top quality, gear products and complete drive solutions, we tailor our products to customer needs, e.g. standard and design-for-application products for material handling and mining equipment.

Several projects in Europe, USA, South-Africa, Australia, Japan and South America were entrusted to Hansen because of our very short lead times, the compactness and lightweight nature of Hansen gear units, and our ability to supply all drive components as complete packages.

HANSEN P4 STANDARDIZED GEAR UNIT

Our main industrial product line, the Hansen P4 standardized gear unit, is available in 18 sizes from 6kNm to 800kNm and offers the highest power rating in the market for a given size. The P4 range excels in low noise and low vibration levels as well as in minimum weight: for a given output a Hansen P4 accounts for only one-fifth of the weight of its 1950 predecessor. Hansen P4 gear units are also at the heart of our product range for bulk material handling applications.

For vertical, horizontal, parallel and right-angle shaft arrangements, Hansen P4 units offer top quality yet economical solutions with an exceptional flexibility to customer specifications and required options.

HANSEN MONOBLOC GEAR UNIT

In 2004, Hansen launched its Monobloc M4 gear unit; a functional solution that can easily be configured to order to meet a wide variety of application requirements. Tailor-made solutions for customers with high volumes or repetitive orders are also possible. The Hansen M4 range, a functional solution without requiring a bespoke engineering effort,will be extended in the course of 2008 .

FLEXIBLE DRIVE SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE CONVEYORS, TRAVEL DRIVES AND BUCKET ELEVATORS

For travel drives, space constraints often lead to typical travel drive configurations. The Hansen P4 range has been extended with a design allowing horizontal mounting of the motor by a scoop mount or a lantern. Both Hansen P4 and Hansen M4 can be installed vertically, with flange or foot motors.

Conveyor drives come in a wide variety of configurations. Depending on customer preferences and project necessities, such as an inclined installation of the conveyor, environment, serviceability, etc., a wide range of solutions can be provided.

As for conveyor drives, a variety of drive package arrangements is available for bucket elevators: different motor assemblies (lantern, motor base, bed plate), backstops and auxiliary drives all belong to our range of options.

HANSEN I4 INVERTIBLE GEAR UNIT

The Hansen I4 invertible gear unit has a large front section to accommodate a large lantern and fluid coupling. This highly suitable conveyor drive is compact and robust and alleviates the past requirement of separate drives for left and right hand orientation on multiple drive conveyors. This gear unit can be inverted, i.e. turned 180°, for either handling. The resultant reduction in the number of spare units leads to significant cost and space savings.
