Drop Bearings VL4
NORD offers a high capac-
ity drop bearing drywell units
in our Clincher™ offset par-
allel and right-angle helical-
bevel. These True Drywell de-
signs provide the high capacity
bearings design of the VL2/VL3
units together with a drywell
design.
Drywell Design
A drywell design isolates the
low-speed output shaft from the
gear unit’s oil sump to prevent
oil sump lubricant from leaking
thought the output area. A dry-
well design physically separated
the oil sump lubrication form
the rotating output shaft.
NORD’s Superior Drywell
NORD’s stationary oil dam tube
extends vertically above the top
of the gear unit housing. Most
other drywell designs simply
have a small oil dam tube inside
the gear unit’s slightly above the
oil sump level. NORD’s drywell
design provides a much higher
degree of leak safety. Addition-
ally NORD provides a sealing o-
ring at the top of the oil dam for
maximum protection.
