42CrMo Forging and Casting Large Kiln Girth Gear

Segmented girth gears have a number of advantages,  ease of transport and straightforward installation. Segmented girth gears are used to drive large, rotating systems such as dryers, rotary kilns or horizontal mills. They are installed around the circumference of these systems, and transfer the drive torque from the gear motor to the rotary cylinder. If necessary, the rotation of the cylinder can be induced by several drives, to distribute the load. When the girth gears are used in this manner high torques can be achieved by smaller, more efficient units.
