New High-Performance Oil-Lubricated Gear Spindles for Algoma’s DSPC (Room 310)

ALGOMA, Canada (formerly Essar Steel Algoma Inc.), awarded Danieli Transmissions a strategic order for the main drive spindles upgrade belonging to the most loaded stands of the hot strip mill, F1-F2, F5 and F6. Featuring a special heavy-duty design and an advanced torque monitoring system, these spindles replace the existing grease-lubricated design with the efficient continuous oil-lubricated solution to withstand the tough working conditions, increase life expectations and provide room for product mix extension. The first couple of spindles were installed in September 2017 by the service team and are already showing good and reliable performance. Progressively all the others are being installed.
