This 40,000 pound mining machine shaft required a 1-2 pitch crown spline on both ends. Each spline was cut to SAE Class 5 fit tolerances on our Pfauter P2500B Precision Gear Hobbing Machine. Our 20 ton Overhead Crane assisted in flipping the part.
With over 50 years of gearbox repair experience, let The Gear Works save you time and money over a new replacement. We repair virtually any make or model, with Hot Rush emergency breakdown service available if needed.
