Rotary
Positive Gas Blowers
Designed with features
found ordinarily on high-end blowers, COMPETITOR GT blowers are
still designed to be
interchangeable, with respect to foot print, shaft height and
diameter, with equivalent sizes of Roots Universal RAI-G®, and
many Sutorbilt® California Series Legend™ Series L and P,
as well
as M-D Pneumatics COMPETITOR PLUS™ blowers.
 Splash Oil Lubrication at Both Ends
COMPETITOR GT blowers include splash oil lubrication at both
the gear end and drive end of the blower. Splash lubrication
provides for longer bearing and mechanical seal life through
improved heat dissipation, compared to grease lubricated designs.
Revolutionary Noise Reduction Technology
Many sizes of COMPETITOR GT blowers are available with
Tuthill’s unique noise reduction technology with tri-lobe rotors
specially designed for maximum displacement and special porting
on the discharge side to significantly reduce noise.
Helical Gearing
COMPETITOR GT blowers are timed with hardened, precision
helical gears, keyed to the rotor shafts, not taper fit spur
gears
offered by other manufacturers which have greater backlash,
and
can slip and lose timing. Helical gears are also quieter,
further
reducing mechanical noise.
Stronger Bearings
All COMPETITOR GT blowers include double row ball bearings
at
the gear end, stronger than single row ball bearings
offered by
other manufacturers. Drive shaft bearing is cylindrical
roller type for
additional strength against side loading from V-belt
drives. As a
result of this superior design, COMPETITOR GT blowers
offer
significantly longer bearing life than models offered
by other
manufacturers.
Rotors with Integral Shafts
COMPETITOR GT blowers include precision machined
ductile iron
rotors with large, integrally cast shafts, not
press fit and/or pinned
shafts offered by other manufacturers, which
can loosen over time
and cause rotor clash. All rotors are dynamically
balanced for
vibration-free rotation.
Positive End Clearances
End clearances are positively established at
the blower gear end,
eliminating the risk of shifting end clearances
when installing or
removing drive components. This also eliminates
the need for
those special fork and saddle tools required
by other brands to
reset end clearances.
Polished Drive Shaft Sealing Surfaces
Driveshaft is polished to reduce seal wear and risk of leakage.
