Rj Link Heavy Duty Gearbox

Rj Link team members attended the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Expo in Minneapolis, MN.  SME is the leading conference for international collaboration and growth in the mining industry. The exhibit hall provided close-up views of the latest in mining technology and innovations.   Rj Link received numerous inquiries from companies at the show that are looking for a rugged, heavy duty gearbox design with tight space requirements. Rj Link’s D290, D244 and D254 series of gearboxes, which are being used in a multitude of applications, have been a great fit for these recent inquiries.

What makes this series of gearboxes a big hit?

• Heavy Duty Gearbox design – weight 1280 lbs.
• Able to accommodate multiple housing & drive plate applications
• SAE 1, 2 & 3 Bell Housings fit well allowing for protection of clutch to enable rugged mounting
• Various shaft versions available – tapered, straight, keyed, splined, etc.
• Input power 600-800 HP
• Input speeds generally range from 1800 up to 2600 rpm.
• Speed reduction generally falls between 3:2 to 1:1

The high demand for a heavy duty gearbox that can transmit a lot of torque while fitting into a tight space constraint is keeping this series of gearboxes at the top of the wish list for many companies.

Typical applications:

• Compressor
• Booster pumps
• Transfer pumps
• Mud pumps
