PMC in cooperation with the railroad industry
developed the three-piece segmented alloy starter
gear. It was designed to extend life and minimize change-out time by 90%. Removal and reinstallation can be reduced to eight man-hours, saving manpower and resources while reducing equipment downtime. The triple alloy “Super Gear” is carburized, hardened and Cubic Boron Nitride finish ground. When compared to some induction heat treating methods, carburizing provides a better and more consistent hardness through the effective depth resulting in exceptional wear properties. CBN finish grinding adds beneficial compressive stress in the tooth surface compared to conventional aluminum oxide grinding. The “Super Gear” technology has become the standard in the industry. The combination of alloy metallurgy and CBN grinding gives the “Super Gear” the following advantages: |
