Standard Machine provides precision pinion gearing, rolling mill drives, and gear reducers engineered to meet the heavy-duty, varied needs of the steel and metal processing industry. Beyond manufacturing, we deliver inspection and upgrade services and can determine the proper metallurgical properties and AGMA quality for your custom application. Plus, we can increase load-carrying capacity within the existing unit size by utilizing upgraded gear element designs and processes that improve tooth contact to provide more accurate gearing.
One-stop metal processing drivetrain solutions
As a part of Timken Power Systems (TPS), Standard Machine works with our gearbox, electric motor, and bearing repair facilities to provide complete electromechanical design and repair expertise for your entire drivetrain.
Custom gearbox manufacturing and repair
Whether it’s designing and manufacturing a new gearbox or replacing an existing one, our gearbox configurations meet a wide array of size and footprint variations. We can create any possible gear arrangement to your requirements: from parallel shaft to right-angle, to double helical, to planetary/epicyclic, to bevel helical, and more. There is virtually no gear-related challenge that we haven’t seen – and solved – before.
Each of our ISO-certified regional service and manufacturing centers is equipped to provide equipment decision-makers with the data they need to make informed decisions. Our service centers can reverse engineer any gear drive or component to exact OEM specifications, servicing virtually any brand. And by performing a detailed design review of both the gearbox and its application, our technicians can determine the uprate potential of the unit.
We can provide new or replacement gearboxes for any of the following processes and applications:
- Bar mills and edgers
- Basic oxygen furnaces
- Coilers/uncoilers
- Cold reduction mills
- Continuous annealing
- Galvanizing
- Hot strip mills (main drives inion stands)
- Pickle lines
- Steckel mills
- Tension reels
Inspect, repair, and upgrade services
Standard Machine delivers quick turnaround times for the inspection and overhaul of mission-critical gearboxes. Each of our facilities is staffed with world-class engineers and shop technicians outfitted with state-of-the-art machinery to ensure we hold to exact OEM specifications. We perform unmatched gearbox failure root cause analysis and can provide full disassembly and cleaning, inspection and measurement, and engineering evaluation to determine scope of work recommendations for every gearbox we receive — all backed by a leading three-year repair warranty.
