Gearboxes for steelworks and rolling mills
Gearboxes used in a steelwork or rolling mills are exposed to extremely high loads. In addition to the high temperatures in a rolling mill, the 24-hour continuous operation and high individual loads on the gears are important factors that must be taken into consideration during the designing of the gears.
