Falk A+Plus® Gear Drives
We deliver the total power transmission package.
So you can rely on A+Plus drives to deliver picture-perfect performance. Right
from the start.
Falk A+Plus parallel-shaft drives
feature super-rugged designs to meet every operating challenge. And they're site-proven
in the world's most demanding applications to take plenty of tough, on-the-job
punishment.
Application-engineered
to minimize stress and wear, and to extend service life, these drives deliver
steady, trouble free operation, day-after-day. They're also specially designed
and constructed to offer you maximum application flexibility.
Smart Features that Save
Falk Magnum "No-Leak"
Seals:
Exclusive labyrinth-design, non-wearing,
Magnum seal keeps oil in and dirt out. A purgeable grease chamber with, in most
cases a *Viton® contact seal, prevents the infiltration of dirt and
grime. A unique drain-back passage combines with a radial and axial bush seal
to retain oil and eliminate leaks. Tandem lip type seals are used for high oil
level requirements. Manufacturer's seal numbers are published for local sourcing.
Superior "High Strength" Gearing:
Gearing is engineered to exceed AGMA requirements. Coarse pitch helical gears
(25 degree pressure angle) are protuberance hobbed, case carburized, and finish
ground with lead an profile modifications that assure full contact under load.
These modifications, when combined with housing bore accuracy and assembly quality,
provide gear mesh performance that is equivalent to gearing with a quality 12
level. Spiral bevel gears are case carburized, shot peened, and finish skived.
Our gears can take the shock where others fail.
"Mesh Accurate" Quiet Operation:
Advanced dynamic design, superior manufacturing and assembly standards, and stringent
quality controls develop "mesh-accurate" gearing that assures exceptionally
smooth and quiet operation and extended service life.
"Tough" Steel Housings:
Rugged, all-welded steel housings simplify rebuild or bearing replacement. Extra
strength and rigidity to maintain accurate gear alignments.
Reduced
Down Time:
At 200oF (93oC)
Falk A+Plus Viton oil-seals have 18 times the operating life of conventional Nitrile
seals.
 Protected Profitability:
Falk's high-strength gearing withstands higher peak cycles for uninterrupted
production.
 Lower Costs:Falk A+Plus
standard features significantly reduce long-term costs of maintenance and repair
downtime.

Unique Moisture & Particulate Protection for Enclosed
Gear Drives (Optional Accessory).
Horsepower, Heat, Moisture, and abrasive contamination are constantly working to break down your gear drive lubricant. GMax 6000 is designed to provide superior wear protection in the most demanding gear drive applications. GMax 6000 is a Polyalkylene Glycol based lubricant or PAG. PAG synthetics have exemplary lubricating properties over traditional Polyalphaolefin or PAO Synthetics and mineral oils. The viscosity index of PAG lubricants is double that of PAO lubricants. This means that a PAG will perform much better over the range of operating temperatures experienced by an industrial gear drive.
