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.
