Customer experience is our top priority, and we want to ensure that our customers can get the modifications or custom options they desire. Our Paramax® and Hansen brands offer the widest range of large industrial gearboxes on the market. Historically, we have supplied products that have outperformed our competition in the toughest of industries, such as forestry, steel, and mining, and application like bulk material conveying, mixers, crushers, kilns and cranes.

The Right Gearbox or Gear Reducer for the Right Job

Standard large industrial gearboxes are pre-engineered and manufactured to be assembled from our inventory. Local engineering, manufacturing, and assembly allow us to customize these products to meet your needs. Our large gearboxes also have various upgrades and performance monitoring products to keep each gearbox in action. By following our preventative maintenance procedures, you ensure your gearbox lives a long life. If your gearbox has an issue, our experienced network of aftermarket experts is always available. Plus, with one of the longest warranties in the gearbox industry, your major operation is well protected.

If you ever have any questions regarding ordering our large industrial gear drives, CAD drawings, quotes, and more--please contact us.

Whatever your requirements, we have a solution for you. Sumitomo Drive Technologies offers customized gearbox bases that allow our units to match the footprint of an array of existing applications and drop-in a unit to upgrade, replace and remove competitor gear boxes. With a wide range of options, our engineers can replace your unit with minimum impact on your application while delivering a premier product with performance and reliability.

Retrofitted Industrial Gearbox Replacement

With a custom transition base, the new low-speed shaft will be positioned exactly where the original low-speed shaft was. Compared to a standard gearbox, retrofitting with our large gearboxes provides maximum cost savings with minimal on-site modifications to your application. 

This option typically requires just relocating the motor mount. In order to minimize the impact of relocating the motor mount, we offer motor mounting options, such as flanged motor adapters for c-face and d-flange motors. 

Other options might include low-speed shafts with specific diameters or lengths and motor lanterns. In the diagram, the red circles indicate the existing bolt pattern of a customer's large gearboxes. Transition bases are made to match machine shaft height, ensuring that the low-speed shaft is aligned with the machine shaft.  

Drop-In Industrial Gearbox Replacements

Because downtime is such an important factor for your business, let us install a custom drop-in unit. Installation-ready units are designed to seamlessly integrate into existing applications. We understand that on-site modifications or reengineering your system isn't always an option. 

These stress-free units can have your application back up and running in no time. Custom gearing and shafting, fabricated steel housings, and more are all available. Same footprint, same shaft positions; it will literally drop into place.
