Featured Artec Custom High Speed Turbo Gear Units
High Speed Increasing Gear Unit
This high speed turbo gear system is specifically engineered for integrated gas compressor drives. Built to meet the latest AGMA gear design standards, it includes three compression impellers mounted on high-speed pinion shafts operating at ~37,000 and ~50,000 RPM. The input shaft connects to a 600 kW, 50 Hz electric drive motor, ensuring reliable, high-efficiency operation in compact footprints.
Integrated Gas Turbine Genset
This 4,600 HP gas turbine system is a fully integrated high speed turbo gear unit engineered for mobile and stationary power generation. It includes two PTO units compatible with 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies and features a self-aligning base mount for simplified maintenance. Its epicyclic gearbox is supported by a specially designed lubrication system suitable for extreme conditions.
Decades of experience in high speed turbo gear unit design allow Artec to meet rigorous specifications in oil & gas, power generation, and turbomachinery applications. Every gear system reflects our dedication to performance, longevity, and customer-driven innovation.
