Mining Industry
Out-mine your competition with the right equipment. We offer the most resilient speed reducers on the market that perform in severe operating conditions.
What Your Operation Is Up Against
Unplanned Downtime
- Critical equipment failures can halt production with little warning.
Downtime caused by aging equipment and inadequate maintenance,
Every hour of downtime can result in lost production, missed shipment targets, and increased operating costs.
Rising Maintenance and Lifecycle Costs
- Operations are under pressure to maximize asset life while controlling expendituress.
- This is caused by aging infrastructure, budget constraints, and labor costs
- Operators must balance production targets with maintenance spending and capital investment.
Remote and Harsh Operating Conditions
- Mining equipment must perform reliably in extreme environments.
- These environments can accelerate wear, corrosion, and premature mechanical failure if equipment is not designed for these conditions.
How We Serve the Mining Industry
Improve Equipment Reliability
Solutions are designed to maximize uptime and reduce the risk of unexpected failures in critical processes.
Extend Asset Life
Engineering expertise and lifecycle support help operations get more value from existing equipment investments.
Optimize Maintenance Strategies
Condition monitoring, inspections, and repair services help maintenance teams move from reactive to planned maintenance.
Support Expansion and Modernization Initiatives
Global engineering and technical sales resources help mines increase throughput, extend equipment life with retrofit and drop-in replacement solutions, and support operational growth
Navigate Solutions by Application
The mining industry places heavy demands on power transmission drives. Harsh operating conditions, high shock loads, dirt, moisture, and corrosive environments take a heavy toll on the equipment that keeps your operation moving. We offer tough, reliable gear reducers designed to withstand severe shock loads and harsh environments, maximizing equipment performance at any stage of your mining operation.

Mining Solutions in Action
Every application has its own challenges, and choosing the right solution requires confidence in both the product and the team behind it. Our customer stories show how we work through real requirements, real environments, and real operating demands to deliver solutions built for the job.
Paramax® Drives in the Coal Mine
To solve the challenge of sourcing and organizing spare parts at a Marissa, Illinois coal mine, Sumitomo Drive Technologies partnered with the facility to streamline their maintenance purchasing through a customized Paramax® binder project, competitive pricing, and hands-on local support that included machinery lubrication and long-term storage preparation guides. Over a two-year period, SMA's dedicated engineering and customer service generated approximately $1.3 million in purchases, successfully solidifying a long-term partnership with the mine for ongoing Paramax® spares and replacement units.
