Steel Industry
Continuous casting, rolling and material handling lines run on drives that cannot fail mid-shift. We specify against sustained load, thermal exposure and shock duty before sourcing begins.
Where power transmission equipment runs hardest in a steel plant.
Continuous Casting Drives
Precision speed control under sustained thermal load.
Rolling Mill Gear Drives
High-torque, shock-tolerant transmission for mill stands.
Conveyor & Material Handling
Continuous-duty drives for billet, coil and scrap handling.
Cooling Bed Drives
Stable low-speed torque for controlled product cooling.
The product families steel plants draw on most.
Industrial Gearboxes
Heavy-duty helical and planetary units for mill and conveyor drives.
Electric Motors
High-ambient-temperature rated motors for near-furnace installations.
Couplings
Torsionally flexible couplings to absorb rolling-stand shock loads.
Bearings
Heavy-load, high-temperature bearing selections for continuous casting lines.
What we check before quoting a steel-plant drive.
- Thermal derating — ambient and radiant heat exposure factored into motor and bearing selection.
- Shock load analysis — service factor selection for stand-reversal and jam-load conditions.
- Vibration tolerance — mounting and coupling selection for mill-stand vibration profiles.
- Duty cycle mapping — continuous vs. intermittent classification against your actual operating pattern.
