Description
A GIRTH GEAR, or gear ring, is a large circular gear designed to transmit torque between the main drive shaft and the driven shaft of heavy machinery. Typically mounted around the outer circumference, often on the underside, girth gears are essential components in large rotating equipment. These gears are commonly found in rotary kilns, dryers, and ball mills, where their robust design ensures reliable operation under demanding conditions.
Girth gears are critical in industries such as mining, cement, and mineral processing, where maximizing uptime is crucial. Whether in the production of copper, gold, platinum, or iron ore, these gears provide the durability and precision needed to keep operations running smoothly and efficiently.
