ASA Turbo Transmission
Turbo gearboxes up to 130,000 rpm/270 kW
Compact high-performance gearboxes for test benches, research, and development
For high-speed applications, ASA has specifically developed its proven standard gear technology into high-speed turbo gears. The gears are designed for continuous operation at very high speeds and are used in particular in test bench, research, and development environments.
The Generation 1 version is designed for speeds of up to 110,000 rpm and has already been successfully used on many test benches. The newly developed Generation 2 is customized to individual requirements and achieves speeds of up to 130,000 rpm with significantly increased output torque. ASA is thus opening up a new performance class of compact high-speed gearboxes.
Typical areas of application are:
- High-temperature heat pumps
- Universities and research institutes (e.g., rotor dynamics, shaft dynamics)
- Test benches and conditioning systems
- Fuel cell and hydrogen applications
- Aerospace
- Motorsports and high-performance test benches
For special projects, the gearboxes are designed specifically for the application regarding transmission ratio (Generation 2), shaft ends, temperature requirements, etc.
Advantage of ASA
- Proven basic technology with almost 20,000 high-speed gearboxes delivered
- Designed for very high speed and torque
- High power density with compact design (e.g., approx. 80 kW at ~5 kg, < 20 kg at 270 kW)
- Flexible gear ratio and interface design
- High-precision high-speed shafts with specified concentricity values
- Customized solutions for research and development applications
- Individual technical consulting
- High overall efficiency
ASA HP turbo gearboxes are specifically aimed at OEMs, system providers, and research and development departments that want to not only incrementally optimize high-speed drives, but also conceptually reevaluate them.
ASA deliberately does not address the mass market, but works with selected partners with whom technical issues, integration concepts, and pilot applications can be discussed confidentially and on an equal footing. Early, close technical coordination is crucial, especially for very high speeds, continuous load requirements, and high power densities.
Typical applications for HP turbo transmissions (Generation 1 & 2):
- High-temperature heat pumps
- Replacement of limited high-speed drive solutions in test bench and development applications
- Development of new system solutions with increased requirements for speed, power density, efficiency, noise behavior, or maintenance intervals
- Design and evaluation of pilot, pre-development, and demonstrator projects in the high-speed range
- Application-specific high-speed drives with customized gear ratios, interfaces, and cooling
