The recently released Zero-Max IP65-rated Crown Gear Drives are used in the OpenAire Vertical Opening Glass Wall System for a swimming pool enclosure on a Cruise Ship. This retractable Wall System provides a naturally ventilated, healthy, safe, and energy-e cient environment made possible with a mechanical drive system using the drives.

The IP65-Rated Crown Gear Drive features nickelplated aluminum housing, stainless-steel shafts, and includes purpose-built shaft seals. It provides an added level of protection to withstand conditions such as frequent washdowns, corrosive elements, and outdoor installations that can include temperature extremes, sunlight, rain, humidity, and condensation. This fully enclosed design prevents contamination from water, chemicals, and debris, allowing it to hold up to harsher operating environments.

Another important feature is the drives are pre-lubricated, making them a “Lubed-for-Life” design o ering maintenance-free operation for the life of the product. Most important, these Zero-Max Crown Gear Drives have been tested by an independent laboratory to obtain the IP65 Certification for ingress protection against dirt and water.
