TAP INTO OVER 135 YEARS OF ENGINEERING EXPERTISE

Philadelphia Gear^® pioneered the design and manufacture of the first basic oxygen furnace gear drive for the steel industry nearly 50 years ago. Today, we provide precision pinion gearing, rolling mill drives, gear reducers engineered for large loads, and other solutions designed to meet the various needs of the steel and metal processing industry. Beyond manufacturing, Philadelphia Gear offers inspection and upgrade services and can determine the proper metallurgical properties and AGMA quality for your custom application. Plus, if needed, we can increase load-carrying capacity within the existing unit size by utilizing upgraded gear element designs and processes that improve tooth contact to provide more accurate gearing.

Found in a variety of industries from refineries to power plants, Philadelphia Gear cooling tower gearboxes are designed to keep manufacturing moving by driving fans that evacuate the heat generated from production processes.

Learn more about your worm gear speed reducer — the mechanical device that decreases the rotational speed of an input, while increasing torque through a worm gear meshed with a worm wheel. Designed for reliability and efficiency, worm gear speed reducers are commonly used in conveyors, mixers, lifts, and other heavy-duty applications where precise motion control is essential. Proper setup and routine maintenance not only extend the life of reducers but also ensure optimal performance and safety. This booklet covers general installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting instructions.
