Moventas Santasalo supplies technologically advanced drive applications with high reliability and low running costs for lime burning kilns, cement kilns, incinerators and dryers. We have a strong global position in these applications for minerals, steel, cement, chemical and sugar industries, and pulp and paper industry applications.

The special and unique concept of the multi-segmented ring gear is originally developed by Moventas Santasalo. With more than three decades of experience in large multi-segmented spur ring gears, we also offer helical design where preferred.

We design and deliver a complete package, including auxiliary drives, main gearboxes and bedplates. The multi-segmented ring gears are machined to exacting tolerances, up to AGMA10 or ISO7 for certain applications

Moventas Santasalo employs application-based design techniques to ensure that each ring gear is engineered to provide the optimum drive solution for both new installations and replacements.

• Gear wear is minimized by the use of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) in castings.
• ADI has the high strength to weight ratio required together with high resistance to fatigue and wear for long ring gear life.
• Highly accurate production and assembly techniques minimize vibration and further enhance the long service life of the ring gear solution.
• Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to calculate the loads and stresses on the ring gear enabling the design to be optimized for specific applications.
