POWERGEAR Crane Duty Gearboxes
• Maximum thermal efficiency is ensured by a large oil reservoir. Splash lubrication ensures ample and
positive oil flow to all gears and bearings.
• To ensure correct tooth contact, parallelism of bearing bores are maintained with precise tolerance.
• High efficiency of over 98% per stage of reduction achieved when loaded to full capacity of the units.
The precision gearing and accuracy of bearing alignment preserves this high efficiency.
• Shafts of carbon steel are machined to high precision tolerance to ensure concentricity of bearing
seats with gear teeth.
• The gear teeth are precision cut to involute shape, designed to give maximum tooth contact and
overlap.
• Anti-friction type bearings are used throughout to ensure high efficiency and for maintaining the
precision tolerance required between the gear centres.
• Positive seals prevent oil leakage at both high speed and low speed shafts.

SPECIFICATIONS
HOUSINGS - Housings are of cast iron, generously proportioned to ensure proper radiation of heat generated when
Units are operated at their maximum capacity. Suitable ribs are placed underneath the bearing seats for strength and
the walls are of sufficient thickness to withstand the most severe stresses encountered during operation.
GEARS AND PINIONS - The Gears are generated with highest accuracy on Hobbing Machine. The materials for the
Pinion and Gear Wheel or Gear Wheel Rim are made of hard wearing special steel of graded strength to meet the
individual load conditions. The selection of module, tooth profile and helix angle is made in conformity with speeds,
ratios and load conditions to give maximum tooth contact and overlap, thus ensuring most favourable meshing and
silent running.
SHAFTS - Shafts having Pinions cut integral are of heat treated alloy steel bar or alloy steel forging. All other shafts
are of heat treated Carbon Steel and are finished to high precision tolerance by grinding.
BEARINGS - Anti-friction bearings of ample size are used throughout to ensure long service life. The use of anti-
friction bearings ensures high efficiency, correct centre distance and proper shaft alignment. In case of extra over-
hung loads due to pulley, pinion etc. on Shafts, reinforced extra heavy bearings are used. Oil Seals on both high speed
and low speed shafts prevent oil leakage and provide protection for the bearings from dust and dirt.
LUBRICATION - For normal speeds, splash lubrication is provided by the gears dipping in oil. Oil reservoir is of ample
size to ensure cool operation. The oil level indicator located in the housing is to ensure a proper amount of lubricant in
the housing. Wherever splash lubrication is not effective to carry oil to gears and bearings, a built-in or separately
mounted lubrication oil pump is used for forced-feed lubrication.
COOLING - The heat generated within the gear units is dissipated by a sufficiently large surface area of the housing.
For higher capacities the units are provided with cooling coils in the lower part of the housing for allowing cool water
passing through a coil through a suitable port entry. With pressure lubrication, an oil cooler can be mounted in the oil
circuit to achieve more efficient and effective cooling.
EFFICIENCY - Efficiency of approximately 98% are obtained in the Single Reduction Units, 96% in the Double Reduc-
tion Units and 94% in the Triple Reduction Units.
REDUCTION RATIOS - Single Reduction Units from 1.8:1 to 8:1, Double Reduction Units from 8:1 to 48:1 and Triple
Reduction Units from 10:1 to 160:1 can be supplied. Ratios not shown in the catalogue can also be provided on special
request.
DESIGN
• The gear units are specially designed for crane duty applications in accordance with IS:3177
• Horizontal gear units comprise of helical gears whereas in vertical gear units, the reduction is through spur gearing.
• All pinions are integral with the shafts. Materials for gears are forged from high grade carbon or alloy steel.
• Gears teeth are cut with metric module system in accordance with relevant standard specifications.
• The housings are of cast iron and machined with close tolerance to ensure perfect alignment of gears.
• Anti-friction bearings are used to ensure long service life and high efficiency.

TYPE OF OIL
The lubricating oil used should be straight mineral oil or Extreme Pressure (E.P.) oil as specified below. Straight mineral oil
should be high graded well refined petroleum oil within the recommended viscosity range. It must be neutral in viscosity; no
grit or abrasives should be present. For high operating temperatures; good resistance to oxidation is needed. Units those are
subjected to heavy shock load or extremely heavy duty should have extreme pressure (E.P.) lubricant.
TEMPERATURE
Abnormal conditions of ambient temperature should be referred to us for recommendation of suitable lubricant.
OIL CHANGES
After mounting the Gear Unit it should be filled in with recommended lubricating oil through the inspection hole. The first oil
change should be made after about 500 hours running or two months whichever is earlier. The subsequent changes would be
made every 2000 hours or one year whichever is earlier. Oil should be drained off and the gear case should be thoroughly
flushed with light flushing oil. From time to time the oil level inside the Gear Box should be checked and this should be
maintained upto the recommended level. The operating temperature should not be excessive. Temperature upto 90°C is
harmless to any component.

SELECTION PROCEDURE OF GEAR UNITS
Satisfactory performance of the gearbox depends upon correct selection. The selection of a gear unit is influenced by the
class of duty of the crane which should be determined and specified. Single, Double and Triple stage Horizontal gear units
type HA, HB and HC are recommended for Hoist and Long Travel drive. Three stage vertical gear units type VC are
recommended for cross travel drives of the EOT crane. Assembly arrangement must be specified while ordering the gear
units.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
1. Compute the required reduction ratio.
2. Determine the horsepower required for the prime mover.
3. Refer to the rating table, see in the ratio column and based on input rpm check the gear box rating horizontally for various
class of duty of the crane.
4. The size should be selected such that the rated HP is equal or more than the consumed HP.
EXAMPLE
1. Select a unit to transmit 9 HP from 720 rpm electric motor for hoist drive in a class II duty crane, the reduction ratio
required is 31.50.
• For hoist drive a two stage horizontal gearbox type HB will be suitable.
• See the ratio column and in the size HB-350, for input rpm of 720 in class II duty the rated HP is 9.5
• As the consumed HP is 9, the unit HB-350 will be suitable.
2. Select a unit to transmit 3 HP from 960 rpm electric motor for cross travel drive in a class IV duty crane, the reduction
ratio required is 14.26.
• For cross travel drive, a vertical gearbox type VC will be suitable.
• See the ratio column and in the size VC - 320, for input rpm of 960 in class IV duty the rated HP is 3
• As the consumed HP is 3, the unit VC - 320 will be suitable.
SPECIAL FEATURES
• The gear units can also be supplied for heavy duty EOT cranes for use in steel works in accordance with IS:4137
• The gear units can also be supplied with fabricated & stress-relieved housing.
• The gear units are available with various assembly arrangements such as,
S, U, K, Z, Y, P, M, N and H
