Gear Drives
GS Global Resources offers is proud to be affiliated with Eskridge. Our planetary gear drives provide OEM’s with the reliability and performance needed in demanding mobile and industrial applications. Gear Drives (Power Transmission) are mechanical devices whose function is to alter the speed, the torque, and/or the direction of rotating shafts, and are the most reliable means for changing shaft speed. Drives can be adapted to any motor with a wide range of options
Nearly all of our Rotation Drives include Eskridge’s Patented “Load-N-Lock” Shaft Retention.
We offer several types of Rotation Drive Types from Spindle| Shaft Drives to Wheel | Track Drives and Gear Sets.
Customization of standard models is a specialty of ours. We routinely offer custom output shafts, integral pinions, and special mounting configurations to meet customer specific needs. Our engineer department is your engineering department – we are here because of you.
Typical Applications for Eskridge Planetary Gear Drives & Multi-Disc Brakes”
- Boom Rotation
- Slewing Drives
- Winch Drives
- Demolition Equipment
- Conveyor Drive
Rotation Drives Application Considerations:
- Torque requirement?
- Shaft type and purpose? Standard or custom?
- Mounting base/Footprint. The eccentric pilot needed for adjusting pinion?
- Radial or axial loads on output shaft? Overhung load adapter needed?
- The horizontal output shaft or vertically up? (Outer bearing zerk fitting needed).
- Duty cycle? What are maxed intermittent loads and frequency, continuous loads, and time?
- Is a brake needed to prevent back drive?
GS Global Resources “engineering resources” are your “engineering resource”; we work directly with our customers to ensure that their machine/equipment is running efficiently by offering our engineered solutions along with Eskridge’s leading design and manufacturer of planetary gear drives and anchor drives, digger drives, and multiple-disc brakes.
