Drop in Gearbox Replacements

Radicon now has the capability to design, engineer and supply special gearboxes to replace any brand of gearbox whether current or obsolete with the minimum of modification and production downtime.

Utilising a wealth of experience and knowledge Radicon is able to engineer gearboxes on a like-for-like basis with the option to increase power and torque whilst occupying the same footprint as the existing gearbox.

Drop in replacement gearboxes can be designed for mounting in the precise configuration of the original gearboxes, but incorporate technology that ensures they require less maintenance and are easier to maintain for whole life cost benefits.

With the ability to engineer gearboxes to the exact current gearbox specifications, the main obstacle to upgrading is eliminated as the new gearboxes occupy the exact same footprint and minimise downtime and costly plant layout modifications.

Entry Roll Gearbox

Radicon recently supplied a drop in replacement to a major UK End User for the manufacture of steel. The requirement was for an existing gearbox to be replaced without any modifications to the surrounding mounting base and equipment.

• Single helical gearbox with a ratio of 1/1
• A single extension solid input shaft and double output shafts
• Transmits 17kW at a speed of 263 RPM

To ensure suitability to withstand the duty the gearbox offers a service factor of 8.24 for strength in accordance with AGMA 2001-B88 selection criteria.
