Combination of a bevel helical industrial gearbox as belt drive coupled with a rugged low-voltage motor for the Albvorlandtunnel project as southern extension of "Stuttgart 21".

• Drive technology for harsh conditions prevailing at the construction site.
• Only motors with a pure flange mounting type of construction can be used.
• The requirement for drive stations grows as the tunnel building project progresses.

Combination of a bevel helical industrial gearbox as belt drive coupled with a rugged low-voltage motor for the Albvorlandtunnel project as southern extension of "Stuttgart 21".

• First SIMOTICS SD next generation motors used (1LE5) 4-pole/frame size 315L / 200 kW power rating (pilot project)
• Head office, factory and the region support the customer at an early phase
• The motors have an enclosure that can withstand high stress and load levels – and have a high torque capacity. They are admirably suited for the harsh conditions that prevail at the construction site, and they harmonize perfectly with gearboxes from Getriebebau Nord.
• Up until now, 25 motors have been shipped for the project. As planned today, the target is to ship between 60 and 80 motors

Getriebebau NORD is one of the global sector leaders when it comes to drive technology – for mechanical and electronic solutions. The product portfolio includes geared motors, motors, industrial gearboxes, frequency converters and motor starters for distributed drive architectures
Getriebebau Nord GmbH &Co. KG is supplying conveyor belt drives to remove rocks and debris as the tunnel boring machine bores through the mountainside. The conveyor belts "grow" as the tunnel progresses.
