Industrial Gearboxes

Hansen’s industrial gearboxes are used in a range of specialist applications in industries such as the chemicals, energy, material handling, environmental, extraction, pulp and paper, steel and metal, food and beverage, and construction industries.

Our industrial gearbox product range consists of a core standardised selection covering over a hundred different applications in a torque range from 6kNm to 800kNm which are suitable for both right angle and parallel shaft configurations in either horizontal or vertical arrangements.

Throughout our history, four generations of standardised industrial gearboxes have been developed, the latest generation being the Hansen P4 which is a modular design that can be adapted to suit customer requirements through extensive applications engineering during the sales process.

We have also expanded our traditional product portfolio for the industrial market through the development of a new series of industrial gearboxes, the Hansen M4, which is also based on a modular design, enables a configured-to-order approach, and delivers a competitively priced product at the lower end of the Hansen P4 torque range.

  • Hansen P4- The Hansen P4 gearbox is available in 18 different sizes, ranging from 6kNm to 800kNm torque and with a power rating of up to 7,500kW. It is available with two, three or four-gear stages and reduction ratios between 6.3 and 630. There is also an option of a solid or hollow low speed shaft and parallel or right-angle shaft arrangement to cater for specific industrial requirements. Also a single stage version for applications such as pumps is available.

  • Hansen M4- In addition to the Hansen M4 range, we are also expanding the monobloc range to include more intermediate sizes. These new products are expected to be available in the second half of 2008.

  • One stop shop: We also supply drive package solutions for industrial customers, comprising gearboxes, couplings, motors, brakes and base plates.

Our strong track record and existing customer relationships are beneficial for the generation of new business opportunities. We provide a strong technological track record and the ability to offer additional services such as commissioning of equipment, as well as strong product development skills and an understanding of the importance of research and development expenditure to develop cost competitive manufacturing processes for the production of high quality industrial gearboxes. Finally, industrial gearbox customers are increasingly looking for gearbox manufacturers with a global service and sales network and proven distribution and support capabilities.
