Industrial
Oscillator Cardan Shaft
NZ Steel was experiencing premature component failure and excessive corrosion from water and steam finding its way into the telescopic sliding spline assembly.
Project Summary
Beattys’ design team visited the plant to identify the environmental factors contributing to the premature failures. Following consultation with the plant engineers, Beattys designed an innovative triple-lip sealing system including a custom stainless steel seal surface area, completely restricting corrosive penetration. Upgrade has resulted in an >300% increase in service life.
