Cast gear blanks engineered for longer life
and durability.
Rexnords Falk Cast Gear Blank offering is built
on the companys years of ring gear expertise in
multiple industries. Ideal for large diameter and
high-power applications, Falk Cast Gear Blanks
are high-quality products that ensure your ring
gears have a longer life in rugged environments.
Choose Falk Cast Gear Blanks for:
Higher strength blank material no
structural welding processing is needed in
cast gear blanks, greatly reducing the risk for
catastrophic failures.
Smooth transitions between changes
in section thickness provide you with
reduced stress concentrations.
Homogenous material you receive
material with more uniform physical structural
properties, resulting in no discontinuities,
unlike fabricated gear blanks that require
structural welding processes.
On-time deliveries Rexnords scheduling
system ensures your Falk Cast Gear Blanks are
delivered when and where they need to be.
Proven steel alloys through decades of
testing, Rexnord offers reliable hardenability
of its Falk Cast Gear Blanks with a variety of
Falk Gear Alloys.
Proven testing Rexnord believes in
the importance of testing our products
throughout the manufacturing process with
nondestructive testing methods. We use a
mixture of in-house equipment and qualified
third-party inspectors to ensure durability,
reliability and accuracy.
Longer and more trouble-free operation
than fabricated gear blanks as a result
of proven Falk Gear Alloys, homogenous
material, higher strength blank material,
and smooth transitions between changes in
section thickness, Falk Cast Gear Blanks offer
a more trouble-free operation when compared
to fabricated gear blanks.
