Bierens produces, overhauls

and reconstructs

Within the 130 years of company history

Verenigde Bierens Bedrijven B.V. has

become a real gear specialist during the

second half of our history. Over the

decades, many changes have taken place at

Bierens, but what has always remained is

Bierens' constant care and passion for the

profession. The foundation of our

history, the basis for our future! Bierens

has become the market leader in gears,

gearboxes, mechanical drives, special

machines and overhaul work. Bierens is

certified for NEN-EN-ISO 14001 and 9001

and manufactures single prototypes up

to larger series.

"Space for new strategy"

The need to optimize the production in the

industrial sector is more required than ever.

This also applies to Bierens, the world's

specialist in gearboxes and gears Since April

2012, Henk Meijer (54) is the new CEO of

Bierens Machinefabrieken.

Henk Meijer: "Over 130 years of technological

excellence, worldwide recognized clients and

a team of passionate professionals working on

innovative solutions. I feel honored and it is

my great pleasure to make the further

professionalization of this unique company

meaningful."

At Bierens we build on our lifetime experience combined with the

technological innovations of today.

The golden solution!

Is a gear simply part of a larger entity? Yes it is, but it is an extremely important

part. Gears make the difference between smooth operation or unplanned

breakdown. Bierens gears keep on going where others give up.

If you are exploring alternative design options with lighter and smaller

constructions, you will need smaller gears with the same specifications on power

transfer. This is now possible because Bierens is offering you the "Golden

Solution", the Bierens "S" gear. Further good news is that the Bierens "S" gears

are manufactured with the highest DIN quality without grinding. The smaller gears

are also less noisy and produce less heat.

This unique Bierens S-gear is worth its weight in gold. The benefits are:

• The power transfer of this new gearshape can be increased up to 30-35%.

• There is no need for axial fixation of the pinion which avoids large bearings.

• The Bierens S-gears produce less heat and less noise. The efficiency is better and

alternative material solutions become possible.

The Bierens S-gear is made possible thanks to a new production method with a

five-axis freeform milling technology. Instead of using time consuming CAD/CAM

software the five axis stations are filled directly with calculated numeric codes (NC).

This reduces the work preparation time with 75%. The direct NC-input is the key to

the Bierens manufacturing technology.
