The speed multipliers has the task of transforming low rotational speeds to the high speeds required by the generator.

Ralpe and Soteco speed multipliers are of the tandem type with parallel and/or perpendicular shafts.

• Watertight and stress relieved electro-welded steel housings.
• Helical gears in case-hardened steel.
• Case-hardened, hardened and tempered.
• Ground tooth flanks.
• Slow shaft: In normalised carbon steel or treated carbon steel.

  radial and axial loads.
• Cooling: May incorporate fan and/or cooling circuit.
• Control elements: Pressure switches, thermostats, temperature probes and other measuring systems will be installed if necessary or at the customer’s request to control the correct operation of the mechanism.
