Marine

Philadelphia Gear's history in the marine industry dates back to the early-20th century, providing gears, sprockets, and transmissions for U.S. ships during the First World War. Our role in this industry has grown since then, from ring and worm gearing for Navy destroyers in World War II, to our marine gear drives that power the icebreakers, war ships and work boats of today.

Work boats across the globe utilize Philadelphia Gear propulsion gear drives, clutches and couplings, and reduction gearing, the standards for marine drives. Plus, the Synchrotorque^® hyrdoviscous drive has proven to be a versatile addition to our marine efforts, functioning as wet clutches, wet brakes, torque control devices or variable speed drives.
