SEW-EURODRIVE’s Segmented Girth Gears

SEW-EURODRIVE continues to lead the way in delivering innovative, high-performance solutions for the mining and aggregates industries. Their segmented girth gears are designed for large, rotating systems like dryers, rotary kilns, and horizontal mills, offering unmatched reliability, minimal vibration, and longer service life.

SEW-EURODRIVE’s Girth Gears

Unlike traditional girth gears, SEW-EURODRIVE’s approach divides gears into smaller segments. This modular design reduces production costs, simplifies handling, and eliminates the need for large, expensive machinery. Made from Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI), SEW’s girth gears surpass classical materials in tensile strength, offering enhanced durability and a virtually wear-free performance with proper lubrication.

Precision is key—these gears are manufactured to ISO 8 (AGMA 8) standards, ensuring minimal vibration and easy segment exchange, keeping downtime to a minimum. Additionally, the complete drive package offered by SEW-EURODRIVE includes drive pinions, base frames, motors, and auxiliary drives, ensuring seamless integration and high torque with smaller, efficient units.

Benefits of SEW-EURODRIVE’s Segmented Girth Gears:

  • Reduced Vibration: ISO 8 precision minimizes vibration for smoother operation.
  • Easy Maintenance: Segmented design allows quick, simple exchanges.
  • Durability: ADI construction ensures long-lasting, wear-resistant performance.
  • Cost-Efficient: Modular design cuts production and installation costs.
  • Complete Solution: Fully integrated drive package for seamless operation.

Whether it’s in the mining, chemical, steel, or raw materials industries, SEW-EURODRIVE’s segmented girth gears and complete drive solutions are the ultimate choice for boosting efficiency and extending the service life of your equipment. Backed by global engineering expertise and local support, SEW-EURODRIVE ensures that your operations run smoothly, from consultation to startup.
