Supporting the key focus on design innovation, Sentinam have partnered with Pollard and developed an exclusive technology to respond to the operational constraints of gearbox manufacturers, and by so doing has become a key player in this constantly growing market.
The Pollard manufacturing technology is used to lubricate reducers and their bearings within many domains : Windpower and Industrial Gearbox; Marine and Railway engines; Agriculture machinery; Ski lifts to name a few.
Pollard Pumps have 3 significant advantages over other competing technologies:
Rotational direction
The “Reverse plus” system enables the pump to keep its operating direction, regardless of the rotational direction of the pump shaft. This feature means that the transmission is lubricated even when the gearbox reverse their rotational direction in certain circumstances.
Viscosity range
“CMtec” technology allows the pump to operate over a very wide range of oil viscosities. This advantage allows satisfactory lubrication of a wide range of gearbox transmissions, even when the oil is very cold or very hot. This allows focus on annual operating time increasing, which improves profitability.
Dimensions
“CMtec” technology with monobloc blades means that a pump can be designed which is approximately 30% more compact, compared to a gear pump of equivalent capacity. This advantage means that the transmission itself can be made more compact, which is always desirable for compact and weight driven applications.
