Let
Pittsburgh Tubular Shafting check the potential
cost reduction for you.
Energy
efficient is the by-word but cost is the key to efficiency—without
sacrifice of quality. Normally PTS can save 30% plus
over solid bar shaft applications when all factors
are considered. Typically the solid shaft weighs
more, is more difficult to handle, assemble, requires
more support members, and more labor and material
for these design 'musts.' In addition, serviceability
is extremely difficult, often causing fan damage,
when attempting to remove and replace bearings. Standardizing
bore sizes on fans often affords better buying quantities
also affording substantial cost savings. Bearing
sizes often can be reduced on the shaft 'free' end,
when gross overdesign has been the rule, to accomodate
a single diameter size solid shaft – also resulting
in dramatic savings and lowering inventory requirements. |
