Ball mill inching drive. It is used for maintenance and inspection purposes as. Inching drives are units that provide slow speed operation of conveyor or elevator systems in order to facilitate maintenance and inspection. Its purpose is to turn the equipment at a speed slower than the normal operating speed typically 1 to 2 rpm although fractional rpms are also common and to do so at high torque typically. These low power high torque auxiliary drives allow you to control mill rotational movement from an inching pace to of up to two revolutions per minute.
An inching drive which contains its own gearbox reducer to achieve the slower speeds can be installed between the driving motor and the main drive system or it can connect to the main drive system separately from the main motor.
