Kiln Girth Gears

Share  | 

Kiln girth gears are large diameter / large module gears that are manufactured using large gear cutting machines. The girth gear of a rotary kiln comes with a diameter of 6384 mm with 56 module and 112 teeth. These gears are very difficult to fabricate using the conventional techniques of gear cutting. In manufacturing of these gears, teeth cutting is done using face mill cutter on a horizontal boring machine, which generally reduces the time taken in teeth cutting to one-third of the original one.

The kiln girth gears come under the category of industrial gears and the commonly used material for these gears is 42 Cr Mo 4. These gears are widely used in cement industry, sugar industry and other industrial purposes and applications.

Engineered to precision, kiln girth gears are known to deliver superior efficiency and flawless performance and their overall life depends on proper alignment and lubrication. These gears are easy to install and take less time as compared to others.
