Thrust Button on Center Line of Gearing
Gear Spindles
Design Features and Options
A thrust button is designed with a spherical surface
that is located at the center line of working gear tooth,
which is the misalignment point. This allows the thrust
button to accommodate misalignment without jamming
under motion as off center buttons do. In addition, the
thrust button is positioned to allow the lubricants to flow
throughout during misalignment. The thrust buttons
are designed to be replaceable components made from
heat treated material - options available are alloy steel
heat treated, and nitrided or carburized depending on
the application.
Multiple Lubrication Points
KOP-FLEX gear spindle design allows for easy lubrication.
The lubrication fittings are typically located on the
outside diameter (OD) of the Roll and Pinion end casings.
KOP-FLEX can also incorporate a lubrication point on
the body of the shaft as an option to allow easy lubrication
of the gearing. The lubrication points on the shaft
are easily accessible and are at a diameter where they
are usually unhindered by ancillary equipment in the mill.
