As a custom gear supplier, ARTEC has the capability to design and deliver prototype gears that adhere to strict customer requirements. We can assist in gear design, or work from your drawings to produce the exact gear prototype you need. When a standard gear simply won’t work, you can feel confident in turning to our prototyping department for a unique solution. Test bench gearboxes for high dynamic endurance tests must safely and consistently transmit high powers at speeds in excess of 100,000 rpm. Test stand gearboxes from ARTEC must, therefore, be optimized to achieve high efficiency with a minimum of noise emission.

CRYOGENIC GAS EXPANSION UNIT
This gearbox test unit is for a cryogenic energy storage pilot plant (350kW at 48,310 rpm), it was developed to validate our customers developing technology. Its application used heat from a biomass plant to improve the efficiency of the system. It is now located at the University of Birmingham Centre for Cryogenic Energy Storage, to support further testing and academic research.
CO2 WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This gearbox unit was a pilot program for a heat engine utilizing industrial-grade liquid CO2 as the working fluid (500 Kw @ 40,000 rpm) It was developed to validate our customers developing technology.
HYDROGEN DELIVERY SYSTEM
This integral compressor gearbox is for a high-performance hydrogen compressor utilized for pipeline transmission (60,055 rpm at 1.1 MW) This unit was developed to promote hydrogen as a fuel source to aid in the US green energy expansion efforts with a diverse, secure, and emissions-free energy for the future.
HELICOPTER ENGINE TEST BENCH GEAR UNIT
This 2-stage gear unit is designed for a helicopter-propeller test bench at maximum speed and full power. This mass inertia of the gear elements simulates the mass of the rotating blades (19 MW at 21,000 rpm).
