This increases the vehicles’ potential payload, saves costs and makes the ride more comfortable for passengers. ZF will produce around <strong>1.200 drives for both fleets</strong>. The Group has presented the new model and further innovations for the rail industry at the Expo Ferroviaria exhibition, last October in Milan.</p> <p>Thinking of <strong>mobility in Italy</strong>, the first suspects that come to mind are probably rattling Vespas, swift Fiats and racy Ferraris. “However, this list ignores how important public transport is for the country”, says <strong>Michael Topp</strong>, who works at ZF as Key account manager for rail drive systems. For Italy’s largest metropolitan regions – around the capital Rome and the commercial center Milan – rail transport plays an important role. Several million inhabitants, not to mention the countless tourists, commute ‘in treno’. In Rome alone, three metro lines transport over one million people every day. Hitachi Rail, which will realize the <strong>next generation of vehicles for these metro networks</strong>, will install a new two-stage spur gear drive from ZF.</p> <p><strong>Reliability</strong>, <strong>high power density</strong> and, above all, <strong>weight savings</strong> were at the top of the list of requirements for the new rail drives. The last two rail drive generations of the Metro fleet also came from the German company. “So we knew how to go about it – says <strong>Alfred Kienzle</strong>, team lead for rail drive systems product development at ZF -. That’s why we were able to efficiently streamline the development of this series”.</p> <p>The time span between the <strong>award of the contract by the ATM Milan to Hitachi Rail</strong> and production maturity was just under 12 months. During this time, ZF developed a new, noise-improved gearing and <strong>optimized the spheroidal graphite cast iron housing</strong>. The result is that at 307,5 kg (dry, without torque support and clutch), the unit weighs around 10% less than its predecessor and also <strong>saves almost 30% on material costs</strong>. On the other hand, robustness and durability remain unchanged – they correspond to the proven ZF standard.</p> <p>Due to the reduced weight, it contributes to the reduction of vehicle weight which consequently <strong>saves energy spent in train running</strong>. The savings are significant considering that about <strong>16 transmissions are installed for each train</strong>. In addition, the drive is quieter during operation, which increases on-board comfort. Another bonus: thanks to the same connections, <strong>it is also possible to retrofit existing vehicles</strong>. This may save public transport companies the costly renewal of the fleet.</p> <p>These advantages also convinced Hitachi Rail, the manufacturer of the new metro vehicles for Milan and Rome to work with ZF. Metro <strong>Milan</strong> already has <strong>736 drives in its order book</strong>, which corresponds to 46 trains. In <strong>Rome</strong>, ZF is to <strong>equip a total of 30 trains and expects a total quantity of 480</strong>. “With this order and in view of our previous success story in the industry, one could say that we are setting the benchmark in the Italian market”, summarizes <strong>Michael Topp</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/two-stage-spur-gear-drive-zf-for-hitachi-rail-trains-in-milan-and-rome_130305/">Two-stage spur gear drive ZF for Hitachi Rail trains in Milan and Rome</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/ZF-trasmissioni-ingranaggio-vagoniu-metropolitane-Hitachi-Rail-Milano-Roma-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Cryogenic pumps Vanzetti Engineering at Gastech 2022</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/cryogenic-pumps-vanzetti-engineering-at-gastech-2022_123110/</link> <pubDate>Thu, 01 Sep 2022 06:50:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cryogenic pumps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cryogenic tanks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cryostats]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gastech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hydrogen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[liquefied natural gas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Milan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[refuelling stations]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=123110</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Vanzetti Engineering will exhibit its Artika series of submerged cryogenic pumps for liquefied natural gas at Gastech 2022, (stand 13D21), the international trade fair for the gas, LNG, hydrogen and energy sectors scheduled to take place in Milan from 5 to 8 September.

With a flow rate of up to 546 m3/h, the Artika 400 will complete the current range of submerged LNG pumps designed by Vanzetti Engineering. The features of Artika pumps include the seal-less concept with the <strong>motor bearings permanently lubricated by liquefied natural gas</strong>, which allows a permanent cold condition for quick and efficient starting and stopping and a <strong>low maintenance frequency</strong> due to the absence of wear parts.</p> <p>The Artika series submerged cryogenic pumps for liquefied natural gas are available in <strong>one-stage or multi-stage configurations</strong> (2, 3, 4 or 6). They are designed to <strong>work submerged in cryostats/sumps or in cryogenic tanks</strong> and are suitable for continuous and discontinuous operations. They feature helical inducers to minimize NPSH requirements, integrated motors to be used with inverter/VFD LPG and low noise (< 80dB) during operations.</p> <p>Artika submerged pumps are designed to <strong>supply LNG at different flow rates and pressures</strong>. For example, for automotive sector LNG <strong>refuelling stations</strong>, Vanzetti Engineering proposes the Artika 160 submerged pump that can be used for one or two LNG dispensers. The Artika 120-3S is the smallest pump in the series and is used in <strong>marine sector applications</strong>. The Artika 200-4S can deliver a guaranteed flow rate of over 30 m3/h at 35 bar, while the Artika 200-6S is even able to reach a differential pressure of 55 bar. Both models can be used in marine sector applications for FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Units) projects.</p> <p>In order to meet the needs of applications that transfer liquefied natural gas to small and medium size terminals, the Artika 300 is available in a 1 or 2 stage configuration, which can reach a flow rate of up to 270 m3/h.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en/cryogenic-pumps-vanzetti-engineering-at-gastech-2022_123110/">Cryogenic pumps Vanzetti Engineering at Gastech 2022</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://meccanica-plus.it/en">Meccanica Plus</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <enclosure url="https://meccanica-plus.it/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/08/Vanzetti-Engineering-Gastech-2022-150x150.jpg" length="150" type="image/jpeg" /> </item> <item> <title>Woodworking technologies, dates 2018 for Xylexpo</title> <link>https://meccanica-plus.it/en/woodworking-technologies-dates-2018-for-xylexpo_90074/</link> <pubDate>Fri, 03 Nov 2017 07:52:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Marco Zambelli]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[anniversary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[furniture industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Milan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trade fair]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wood industry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[woodworking technologies]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://meccanica-plus.it/en/?p=90074</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The appointment for Xylexpo 2018, the trade fair dedicated to woodworking technologies, is confirmed in Fiera Milano Rho fairgrounds from Tuesday May 8 through Saturday May 12, 2018.
