4.2 The Drive Section
The separator bowl is driven by an electric
motor via a belt transmission. The belt pulley on
the motor shaft includes a centrifugal c lutch.
The centrifugal clutch (2) with friction pads
ensures a gentle start and smooth acceleration,
and at the same time prevents overloading of
the belt and motor.
To reduce bearing wear and the transmission
of bowl vibrations to the frame and foundation,
the top bearing of the bowl spindle is mounted
in a spring dampened bearing seat (3). The
bearings on the spindle are lubricated by the
oil spray produced by an oil mist generator
mounted on the lower end of the spindle.
The flat belt (1) transmission has a ratio
which increases the bowl speed several times
compared with the motor speed.
