In addition to main reduction gears (MRGs), Philadelphia Gear also designs and manufactures couplings that are used in propulsion trains of the Virginia Class (SSN774) of submarines, and the Synchrotorque® hyrdoviscous drive has been used for wet brakes, torque control devices, and variable speed drives.
By providing a high caliber of quality and service, it’s no wonder the U.S. Navy trusts Philadelphia Gear for their main reduction gearing needs. When the Navy needs reliable, high performance products that can match the state-of-the-art defense capabilities of a new ship design, they rely on Philadelphia Gear’s 125 years of manufacturing experience and ever evolving machinery upgrades.
