Rexnord introduces its newest product offering, Falk® Targeted Life™
Gear Sets, engineered for applications when the life of a mill or mine
site is expected to be less than 25 years. The customized offering is
suited for gears less than 24 feet (7.3 meters) in diameter, especially
within the mining, cement and power industries.
Rexnord's new Falk(R) Targeted Life(TM) Gear Sets are engineered for applications when the life of a site is expected to be less than 25 years. The customized offering is suited for gears less than 24 feet (7.3 meters) in diameter, especially within the mining, cement and power industries. The offering can save up to 20 percent of the cost of a standard gear set in many cases.
“The Targeted Life Gear Set offering can be advantageous, saving up to
20 percent of the cost of a standard gear set in many cases,” says
William Quinn, Business Development Lead, Mill Products, Rexnord. Cost
savings come from within Rexnord engineering processes and design
criteria for each custom-made set. “What’s unique about this offering is
the product line specifically targets the expected life of a site. For
example, if a mine site has a life expectancy of nine years and needs a
gear set, the Targeted Life Gear Set is a lower cost alternative to
investing in a gear set with a traditional 25-year plus lifespan.”
Targeted life gears are also manufactured as an option to serve as a
spare gear set, supporting risk management initiatives to help reduce
downtime potential.
Targeted Life Gear Sets are designed utilizing the American Gear
Manufacturers Association (AGMA) standards, have an industry-leading
warranty up to 36 months, and are optimized through use of predicted and
actual duty cycles subjective to each customer.
Rexnord gear engineers are experts in applying the design requirements
outlined in AGMA standards. Rexnord has installed more than 5,000 Falk
operating ring gears worldwide.
