BOSCH REXROTH AG

REXROTH COMPONENTS FOR WIND TURBINES

The Witten based product unit gear technology of Bosch Rexroth AG operated under the name Lohmann + Stolterfoht until 2001. Established in 1884, the company first specialised in casted transmission parts, bearings and clutches, in 1926 the product range was extended by reverse reduction gears for ships and gearboxes for industrial applications. The latter formed a gearbox program which, under the name of MOTILUS, established itself as a well-known and well-proven product within the mechanical drive technology.

In 1968 we started the production of travel-, swing- and winch gears for mobile equipment. These gears were our first planetary gearboxes; they have been constantly developed under the brand name MOBILEX and HYDROTRAC and today form a competitive and worldwide known gearbox program consisting of various versions.
Since 1971 the planetary gears, series REDULUS, have been applied in stationary equipments.

Nowadays all these gears are available under the brand name Rexroth for customers all over the world. Mainly used in combination with Rexroth hydraulic motors and included in Rexroth hydraulic systems, these gears are reliable and compact drive components for many kinds of machinery by means of which outstanding projects in many parts of the world could be implemented and will even be implemented.

Above all the following application examples are worth mentioning: Construction machinery and road construction machinery, building material machinery, mechanical handling incl. cableways and chair lifts, forestry machinery, agricultural machinery, offshore equipment, mining machinery, iron & steel machinery and, in particular, wind turbines.

Optionally, Rexroth offers hydraulic cylinders as smooth rotor blade adjustment.
Thus, in combination with a suitable valve- and control technology and a hydraulic oil supply system customers can purchase a further alternative for blade adjustment.

Rexroth is a highly reliable partner for all customers. Production facilities, sales agencies and representatives in more than 80 countries all over the world ensure a competent service at site, as well as short lead times and a reliable service.
