TA- Turbo Gear Unit (Custom High-Speed Double Helical Gearbox)

Precision-Engineered for High-Speed Power Transmission

The TA series turbo gear units are single-stage step-up or reduction gearboxes with horizontally offset shafts, engineered for maximum efficiency and optimal load distribution. Their double helical gear configuration offers substantial performance advantages over single helical options, making these units ideal for turbo generators, turbo compressors, and boiler feed pump applications.

Key Features of the TA Turbo Gear Unit:

High Efficiency & Load Balancing – Double helical gears eliminate axial thrust, delivering smooth, high-speed operation with minimal energy loss.
Compact & Robust Construction – Built for space-saving installations while reducing noise and vibration levels across the system.
Superior Tooth Flank Modification – Supports high pitch line velocity, ideal for industrial applications demanding precise and durable turbo gear units.
Designed for High-Speed Power Transmission – Capable of supporting outputs up to 150,000 kW, these turbo gear units are a trusted choice for demanding industrial environments.

Rated Input Power	10,960 kW
Input Speed	9400 rpm
Ratio	6.259 : 1
Service Factor (Min)	1.7 as per AGMA 6011-J14
Type & Size	EHLD 660S

TAD - Turbo Gear Unit (Custom High-Speed Helical Gearbox)

Optimized for High-Speed Performance and Axial Thrust Management

The TAD Turbo Gear Unit is a single-stage gearbox with horizontally offset shafts, optimized for high-speed applications where axial thrust compensation is required. Unlike the TA unit, the TAD model features a single helical gear design with an integrated thrust collar, effectively managing axial loads.

Key Features of the TAD Turbo Gear Unit:

Optimized for Axial Thrust Management – The thrust collar technique compensates for helical gear forces, reducing mechanical stress and enhancing operational stability.
High Precision Tooth Flank Modification – Ensures low noise operation, extended gear life, and minimal wear under extreme conditions.
Ideal for High-Speed Compressors & Turbo Machinery – Designed for turbomachinery applications, ensuring consistent, high-efficiency performance under demanding loads.
