Introduction

Magtorq Planetary Gear Units detailed in this Catalogue are engineered and manufactured as per the standard recommendations of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA). Design, Manufacture and Inspection are all acts of engineering, while Application is the art of engineering. Perfection in selection is the basis for successful application. Premature failure of gear systems can be costly and one common reason for failure can be a simple omission at the time of selection. The transmitted power and torque, the input speed and the reduction ratio form the base for the selecting a suitable gearbox for any given application. But the minute details such as orientation, load pattern, duty-cycle, environment, over-hung loads, thrust-loads, reliability, life, lubrication, accessibility, ease of maintenance etc. influence the performance of a gearbox considerably and all these need to be taken into account to complete the art of selection.

We hope that the information and guidelines provided within these few pages will help you in selecting the Magtorq gear unit most suited for your application. For requirements and service conditions not mentioned in these pages please contact us so that we may give you further assistance in selection. In any case it is recommended that your selection be counter-checked and confirmed by our application engineers.
