Pump Drive Operation and Maintenance Manuals


Design features and ratings are in accordance with, or exceed, the minimum requirements of AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association).
Housing and Castings
Castings are rigidly designed and constructed to absorb internal and external loads with minimum deflection. Gear case and bearing housings are manufactured to assure permanent alignment of bearings and gears under load. All casting materials are gray iron for effective damping of noise and vibration. All mating castings are sealed using "formed-in-place" gasket material which eliminates "weeping" associated with fibertype gaskets.

Spiral Bevel Gears
Designed and manufactured by Amarillo Gear Company for smooth and quiet operation. All spiral bevel gears are precision machined from nickel alloy steel, case hardened and lapped in pairs.

Bearings
All bearings are roller type, provided by major manufacturers. The upper thrust bearing is designed to carry all loads imposed by the pump. All bearings are sized to meet or exceed the minimum life requirements of AGMA.
Quiet Operation
Quiet operation of the Amarillo Gear Drives is achieved through careful design and controlled manufacturing methods of components. Our engineers understand all of the many parameters that effect gear noise and have applied the latest research to the design and manufacture of all components. Parameters that reduce gear noise are controlled during design, manufacturing, and assembly to ensure quiet operation. Rigid shafts and rigid, permanently aligned housings guarantee alignment of gears under load. Test results collected in our state-of-the-art test facility prove that our sound levels are the lowest available in the industry.

Shaft Seals
Input shaft openings have spring-loaded, single-lipped type seals to keep outside contamination from entering the gearbox. The output shaft is sealed using dry-well construction.
Lubrication
A forced feed lubrication system uses an oil screw mounted on the bottom of the vertical shaft to supply lubricant to all bearings and gears. An oil manifold, oil lines, and internal passages assure that lubricant is supplied to all components at the correct location and volume. On many models, lubricant is cooled using fresh water which flows through internal finned copper cooling coils. External heat exchangers for fresh water and other fluids are available as optional equipment.
Service Openings
Large inspection plate facilitates periodic inspections. Ports for oil fill and oil drain are tapped and located for ease of use.
Optional Features:
Solid vertical shafts, heavy thrust options, sprag type non-reverse, and marine package are options that are available on pump drives.
Shafting
Amply sized to provide a rugged spindle for the pump and gears. Surfaces for gears, bearings and input coupling are precision ground.
