OEMs and plant operators prefer parallel shaft gears because of their ability to transmit very high power and speeds reliably with low power losses. The basis for this is the optimal design of the gears themselves, based on the best technical knowledge backed by experience. To this we can add special designs, particularly for the bearings, to provide state-of-the-art performance: an example is the use of low-temperature bearings for special duties.


Worm gears can be considered a species of hel...
