Sometimes customer requirements are a real challenge – like in case of Gear Joint Spindles for a hot rolling mill in Germany.
The so far used products of a competitor were showing after only a few months of operation cracks and heavy wear. But the operating conditions have been also extreme in terms of high torques at small diameters. Together with the customer and with the aid of FEM design / simulation, MALMEDIE® developed and installed an optimized version – at full customer satisfaction.
