Today with more than 5 decades of experience in gear manufacturing, KPCL remains the leading solution provider for challenges in the field of Power Transmission. Powered by skilled and trained task force and high tech infrastructure KPCL remains in the league of its own when it comes to creating Power Transmission Solutions.

The salient features of KPCL gearboxes include:

• Design, manufacturing and testing as per AGMA and API standards (with latest versions).
• KPCL takes pride in achieving fully indigenized Gearbox for 50 MW for Power generation.
• Grinding finish up to DIN CLASS 3/4 for High Speed Gearboxes & DIN CLASS 5/6 for Low Speed Gearboxes.
• Successfully developed Journal bearings in-house with infinite life used.
• Antifriction Bearings are sourced from reputed manufacturers - SKF, FAG, TIMKEN etc.
• For High speed Gearboxes - Double helical gearing results in no thrust generation from the gearbox & with subsequently no thrust bearing on either rotor.
• Energy efficient Gearboxes.
• Noise level equal to or less than 85-88 db(A) achieved.
• Non-contact type vibration values of the rotors lower than the designed values are achievable because of the precise manufacturing processes.
• Less Noise and Vibration due to inbuilt accuracy of gear.
