Girth Gear Drives

Effective lubrication at high loads

Large girth gear drives are subject to high loads and often to extremely aggressive media. For the long-term protection of your drives we developed a comprehensive and efficient priming, running-in and operational lubrication system.

Large girth gears are used where heavy loads need to be carried in rotary tubular kilns, tube mills, and winches at sea. As the dimensions of such gears can be huge, it is often difficult to protect the gear teeth effectively against external media. In contrast to enclosed gears, dirt, abrasive cement and coal dust and salt water may enter the open drives, accelerating wear and corrosion. Additionally, girth gear drives are subject to heavy shock loads.
