Eaton Inching Drives
Shutting down and starting up grinding mills for maintenance and inspections can be challenging and dangerous. Many companies still rely on manual techniques to move machinery through its cycles, such as jogging the start/stop button. This inefficient technique is not only hazardous for workers but potentially damaging to mechanical system
Eaton Inching Drive Systems are the safer, simpler, faster solutions. These low-power, high torque auxiliary drives allow you to control mill rotational movement from an inching pace to up to two revolutions per minute. They’re designed and engineered to help elevate safety, prevent load freezing, simplify maintenance, extend component lifetimes and maximize mill uptime

With Eaton Inching Drives, your operators have the tools they need to take control of grinding mill maintenance and inspections:
A pendant controller with infinitely variable speed allows operators to inch machinery along smoothly.
System monitors and condition indicators give operators complete control of the operation, ensuring accurate rotation and position holding
Non-reversible hydraulic hose connections ensure proper operation by preventing the possibility of incorrect connections.
A single-point lift system makes drives portable and easy to move around your facility or operation.
