Company LLC

In 1934, Amarillo Gear Company

began designing and manufacturing
right angle gear drives using spiral
bevel gears. Our commitment then, as
now, is to excellence in design, workmanship and reliability. The worldwide
acceptance our drives have enjoyed
testifies to our ability to live up to this
commitment.
We currently offer the largest selection of right angle pump drives available from a single manufacturer in the
world.

HOW TO SELECT A DRIVE:

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The following information is necessary to

make proper selection:

Horsepower requirement.

Input and output r.p.m.

Service Factor.

External thrust.
Is a hollow or solid output shaft

required?
Is a non-reverse required ?

What is the shaft rotation ?

Amarillo Right Angle Gear Drives have

been adapted for a wide range of
industrial applications too numerous to
mention in this catalog. Please contact
our engineering department for special or
unusual applications.

DESIGN FACTORS:
GEARS.
All drives are furnished with spiral bevel
gears manufactured by Amarillo Gear
Company in our modem plant using the
latest Gleason equipment. Optimum tooth
contact and maximum performance is
insured by computer aided design analysis
and strict adherence to the latest AGMA
standards.
BEARINGS.
Three thrust bearing arrangements
(Standard, Heavy, and Extra Heavy) are
offered on each model to insure that the
proper bearing is available for even the
most unusual application. Maximum
reliability is assured by only using
bearings from the leading bearing
manufactures and by only selecting
bearings that exceed the AGMA
recommended design life.
HOUSINGS.
prec1s10n
Carefully
designed
and
machined housings insure correct gear and
bearing alignment while providing the
stiffness, shock resistance and dampening
characteristics required.
SHAFTS.
Made from heat treated alloy steel
properly sized to give maximum life and
minimum deflection.
LUBRICATION.
Cooled and filtered oil is delivered under
pressure to all gears and bearings by a
gear driven positive displacement oil
pump. An oil to water shell and tube heat
exchanger insures that oil is delivered at
the proper temperature and viscosity. In
the event cooling water is not available,
oil to air coolers are available. Please
contact our factory.
DRY WELL CONSTRUCTION.
Amarillo Gear Company was an early
pioneer in the use and perfection of this
unique sealing arrangement which
provides maximum protection against
output shaft leakage.
EFFICIENCY. Efficiency varies with
speed, power and thrust, with normal
ranges being 96-98 %. Contact factory for
actual values for you application.
NON-REVERSE CLUTCHES.
Available on all models if required.
SERVICE. In the event that service is
required, Amarillo Gear Company prides
itself in its ability to supply parts and I or
service personnel with minimum notice.

1. Divide input r.p.m. by output r.p.m. to

find the required gear ratio.
2. Select the closest ratio from Table# 1.
3. Proceed down the ratio column until the
required horsepower rating is found under
the pump r.p.m. (Interpolate as required
for intermediate rating).
NOTE: All ratings listed in this catalog include a
1.5 service factor. In the event a service factor
other than 1.5 is required, divide 1.5 by the
required service factor and then multiply the
results by the table rating to get the drive rating
with the new service factor.

4. Check thrust capacity of your selection

to verify that it is equal to or less than the
rating. (If your requirement is greater
than the rated value, contact our factory.)

NOTE: All thrust ratings listed are for

continuous service.
Higher thrust loads are
allowed for intermittent service or momentary
operation conditions. Our experienced sales staff
is ready to assist you at all times in making a fmal
selection.

5. Verify the rotation with drawings in

Figures #1 - #4.
Example: A solid shaft right angle gear

drive is to connect a diesel engine

transmitting 1200 hp at 1800 r.p.m. and a
vertical pump at 720 r.p.m. A 1.5 service
factor is required and the pump will
develop 15,000 lb .. downthrust at duty.
1800 = 2.5 (Ratio Reduction)
720
From Table #1 we fmd that the Model
1500 2.5:1 rates 1079 hp at 720 r.p.m. and
the Modell800 2.5:1 rates 1634 hp at 720
r.p.m. The correct selection is then the
model 1800. The SSL thrust bearing
rating exceeds the pump thrust, therefore,
the model number would be SSL1800
2.5:1 ratio.

Our design features and ratings are in

accordance with, or exceeds, the
minimum of AGMA (American Gear
Manufacturers Association) standards.
Amarillo Gear Company has complete
noise and vibration testing capabilities
with the capability of performing fully
loaded tests up to 500 horsepower.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our Mission at Amarillo Gear Company is to be
the world-class provider of gear drives by
continuing to delight our customers by
roviding the highest value products and
services coming from dedicated people using
advanced engineering and manufacturing
techniques.

RATIOS AND ROTATION: The ratio of a drive is defined as the ratio of the horizontal input speed to vertical
output speed. For example, a 2:1 ratio would have a horizontal speed of twice the vertical speed. There
four rotational schemes available as show in figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. Figure 1 is denoted as standard
rotation. Figures 2, 3, and 4 are special rotation. CW-Ciockwise; CCW-Counter clockwise
