Overview
With a variety of configurations, sizes, and features, the CX Series can be supplied either as a standalone unit or as part of a complete, optimized conveyor drive solution.
Product Features
Heat capacity
The increased gear‑load capacity of higher‑performance gear drives enables smaller gear units and bearings, thanks to improvements in material quality and manufacturing precision. As a result, power can now be transmitted through more compact assemblies. However, to manage heat, the gearbox must keep oil temperatures below 90°C. Without integrated thermal management, this can become a limiting factor when selecting equipment, particularly in high‑ambient conditions. David Brown Santasalo’s CX series offers an ideal solution. Our fan‑design approach delivers exceptional cooling performance even in compact packages.
Product design is reversible.
In modern manufacturing environments, minimizing downtime is a critical priority. The time required to replace equipment during an emergency can significantly impact your operations, making reliability paramount. Consider a parallel‑drive system that uses two drive pulleys: each side requires both a right‑hand and a left‑hand component. Customers should maintain spare parts for both sides to ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of a failure. Designed by our team, this solution lets you purchase standard components and, with just a few simple steps, quickly switch to the reverse configuration—without any downtime. It offers an alternative to buying two spare units or resorting to costly rebuilds.
Extend lifespan
Bearings are the weakest link in any gearbox. They are particularly susceptible to damage from contaminants such as dust and water, misalignment, vibration, and operational loads. When they fail, the consequences are often catastrophic, frequently leading to damage to the gears and housing. David Brown Santasalo takes a different approach. In conveyor applications, the L10 basic life exceeds 60,000 hours, or 150,000 hours over 10 years—more than six years of operation and a service life of 15 years! This ensures robust performance under harsh external conditions and extended operational lifetimes. Combined with our advanced GearWatch condition-monitoring solution, we can help ensure your gearboxes continue to operate reliably even in demanding environments.
There are 19 sizes to choose from.
The ideal dimensions of a gear unit must meet precise design requirements, as the size of each unit increases with every higher mechanical rating. That’s why David Brown Santasalo offers 19 distinct unit sizes across the CX series, ensuring our gearboxes can satisfy the needs of virtually any industrial application in the major manufacturing sectors worldwide.
Optimize Contracts for Difference
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a computer-based model of the Cx gearbox that enables us to simulate airflow over the enclosure’s external surfaces. This is advantageous because it demonstrates that, by designing radiators to manage airflow across the enclosure and balancing the fans to optimize air velocity, we can better manage thermal performance, resulting in more efficient cooling.
FEA Virtual Lubrication System
To optimize the power-to-weight ratio, we employ finite element analysis (FEA). We create a computational model of the component and discretize it into a fine mesh of small elements. From there, we apply loads to the model, and the software computes the deformation of each element and the stress levels at every corner. Based on this data, we can determine that thinner wall thicknesses can be used, resulting in reduced weight and improved heat transfer.
Simple lubrication system
Our CX series is a self-contained system that enables the gearbox to operate at multiple speeds without requiring additional lubrication. To ensure it can withstand a wide range of temperatures, we have subjected the CX series to rigorous testing, including simulated cold‑start conditions. Thanks to a fully independent internal splash‑lubrication system, the CX series gearboxes maintain effective cooling even under demanding operating conditions.
