ShareNew generation Santasalo Yankee cylinder drive unit
Moventas Santasalo has developed a new gear series for tissue machine Yankee cylinder drive units. The design of this new series is based on a completely new technological solution to meet the requirements of today’s high-speed tissue machines.
Our strong technological expertise, unique understanding and application-related competence in tissue machine dryer section drives, make our new Yankee cylinder drive series the optimal solution for production-optimized tissue machines. The design of this new series places emphasis on its cost-effective and maintenance-friendly structure in order to reduce life-cycle costs.
New design solution - pre-load arrangement of the main bearing
The design of the new Yankee cylinder drive series features a unique pre-load arrangement of the main bearing. This is a completely new design solution that Moventas Santasalo has developed to optimize load distribution. This innovation stabilizes the running of the Yankee cylinder drive unit and consequently extends bearing lifetime. Additionally, the pre-load arrangement of the main bearings is adjustable, for instance in situations when a unit is used as a spare reducer for opposite-handed tissue machines.
