Power industry is an essential
and important industry using heavy electrical equipment for power
generation, its transmission, its distribution and finally the
utilization. Various heavy equipment and machines are being used for
these processes including turbo-generators, boilers, transformers,
different types of turbines, switch gears etc.
The Indian power industry is making use of high quality and high
precision gears and gearboxes for use in the power generation equipment
and machines. These gearboxes are available in a variety of sizes and
shapes with high torque capacity and powerful performance for use in
powerful machines.
High performance turbo gearboxes and gear units are used for high speed
applications in the power plant equipment. These superior quality gears
provide high transmitted output and rotational speeds up to 80,000 RPM.
Types of Gearbox Used
- Parallel Shaft Gearbox : These gearboxes are
specially suited for high speed applications in the power industry
and provide continuous operation. These gearboxes are provided with
helical wheels for large outputs at low ratios.
- Planetary Gearbox : These gearboxes are used
for wide applications and also provide different speeds for use in
stem/gas turbines and hydroelectric power stations. The gearboxes
are available in free-standing and flange mounted options.
The market and demand of types of gearboxes is increasing with the
increase in the demand of industrial machines for power generation.
