Gear Drives

An optional gear drive is available on the 3000, 3600, 4200 and 5200 Series Bareshaft Pumps.

The gear drive is available in four different gear ratios to support diesel engine or electric motor input speeds. Both styles can be supplied left-hand drive or right-hand drive (as viewed from FE) and the gear drive model’s input shaft can also be clocked to five different positions. The input shaft must be turned clockwise.

The 3000 gear drive does not require cooling up to and including 150 hp, but does require installation of a cooling coil for 200 hp. The cooling coil should be supplied with <85°F water at 1 gpm to keep the gear drive within a 200-250°F range. The cooling coil can also be specified at lower horsepower in high temperature applications. The 4200 gear drive is fan cooled and available as either 12V or 24V.
