High torque gear coupling for steel mill roughing stand application

February 12, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ameridrives-Hot-steel-being-rolled-to-shape-in-mill-in-steel-manufacturing-plant

A major steel manufacturer needed a large replacement gear coupling as part of an upgrade for a roughing stand drive at one of its U.S. mills. Positioned on the low-speed, high-torque shaft between the gearbox and pinion drive, the gear coupling rotates at approximately 10 RPM. The goal was to ensure that the new coupling […]
