Gearbox

The Dodge MagnaGear XTR is a reducer gearbox family for heavy-duty material handling applications. The product complements the Dodge CST (controlled start transmission), which combines a gearbox with a clutch.

Available in either parallel shaft or right-angle drive configurations, all the larger sizes of the gearbox employ a planetary output stage. This can reduce size substantially compared with all helical or bevel gearing systems, simplifying equipment design for bulk handling OEMs.

The gearbox also features bearings that exceed L10 life standards, to help OEMs to reduce maintenance costs for their users.

The range offers a choice of eight sizes, rated for output torques from 11,300 to 103,950 Nm. A proven planetary output stage is available on the four largest sizes. Speed reduction ratios from 8.5:1 to 63:1 are available, depending on the model and configuration chosen.

The gearbox can be mounted on four sides, simplifying the design of the overall drive system. Smaller sizes are available with solid or hollow output shafts.

The reducer is also compatible with a variety of soft start mechanisms, including fluid couplings, making it suited to solids and bulk handling applications.

Designed to meet or exceed international and AGMA standards, the MagnaGear XTR features rugged cast iron housing with gearing that is carburised and hardened. Tandem HBNR (hydrogenated buna nitrile rubber) lip seals are standard for extra protection.

A large range of engineered accessories are available, including internal lift-off style backstops, cooling systems, rigid couplings, torque arms, swing base mounts, tunnel housings and baseplates.
