Kiln girth gears are large
diameter / large module gears that are manufactured using large gear
cutting machines. The girth gear of a rotary kiln comes with a diameter
of 6384 mm with 56 module and 112 teeth. These gears are very difficult
to fabricate using the conventional techniques of gear cutting. In
manufacturing of these gears, teeth cutting is done using face mill
cutter on a horizontal boring machine, which generally reduces the time
taken in teeth cutting to one-third of the original one.
The kiln girth gears come under the category of industrial gears and the
commonly used material for these gears is 42 Cr Mo 4. These gears are
widely used in cement industry, sugar industry and other industrial
purposes and applications.
Engineered to precision, kiln girth gears are known to deliver superior
efficiency and flawless performance and their overall life depends on
proper alignment and lubrication. These gears are easy to install and
take less time as compared to others.
