Our greenhouse gearboxes are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity. Follow these steps:
What is the expected lifespan of a greenhouse gearbox?
With proper maintenance, our gearboxes typically last 10-15 years, depending on usage intensity and environmental conditions.
Can I use this gearbox with any type of motor?
Yes, it is compatible with most standard electric motors, but ensure the motor’s RPM and torque match the gearbox specifications for optimal performance.
How do I know if the gearbox needs lubrication?
Signs include increased noise during operation, difficulty in movement, or visible wear. Refer to the manual for specific lubrication intervals.
Is the gearbox resistant to rust and corrosion?
Absolutely. The housing is made of cast iron with an anti-corrosion coating, and it has an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water.
What should I do if the gearbox gets stuck?
First, check for obstructions in the vent mechanism. If clear, inspect the gearbox for internal damage or lack of lubrication. Avoid forcing it to prevent further damage.
Can the gearbox be used in extreme temperatures?
Yes, it operates efficiently between -20°C and 80°C, making it suitable for most climate conditions.
Are spare parts available for repairs?
Yes, we offer a range of spare parts, including gears, shafts, and seals, to facilitate easy repairs and extend the product's life.
How do I choose the right gearbox for my greenhouse size?
Consider the weight and size of the vents or screens. Our gearbox with 150 Nm torque is ideal for standard applications, but larger setups may require custom solutions.
Does the gearbox come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 3-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, subject to proper use and maintenance.
Can I install the gearbox myself, or do I need a professional?
While designed for easy installation, we recommend professional assistance for first-time users to ensure correct alignment and avoid operational issues.
