Artec Machine systems is proud to announce its recent expansion to the west coast to better serve our west coast customers. The new location located in Carson City, Nevada has been strategically selected for optimum support to our local customers, suppliers, and partners.

ARTEC’s robust line of twin-shaft extruder drives has been built for Super High Density/Torque applications for food processing industries. These NEW transmission drives are available to produce the highest working reliability for a given application.  Special twin-screw extruders (synchronous) must be able to absorb the very high torques and axial forces set up by the extrusion process, Artec has developed an extruder gear unit with a double power-splitting system and special high axial load thrust bearings.

ARTEC will act as sales representative for HORSBURGH & SCOTT at specific accounts, mainly in the sugar and steel industries in Mexico. We are very pleased by the confidence H&S has placed on us and we look forward to this collaborative effort that will generate synergies and will give us competitive advantages in this market.

This paper relates specifically to gears that are finish ground and considered high speed per ANSI/AGMA 6011; meshing elements with PLVs (pitch line velocities) in excess of 35 m/s or rotational speeds greater than 4,500 rpm (Ref. 1). Current application standards by AGMA & ISO both provide methods for rating gears for macropitting and bending fatigue. However, neither have a standard to calculate scuffing risk. Both have provided documents; AGMA 925-A03 and ISO/TS 6336-20 (formally ISO/TR 13989-1) as informative suggestions to consider scuffing risk in gear design. Nevertheless, scuffing requires the same consideration as macropitting and bending in rating gears — especially in high-speed applications with high sliding velocities. Scuffing is not a fatigue phenomenon and may occur instantly, often during early stages of operation. This failure is directly related to the lubricant oil film, which does not adequately separate the surfaces. Figure 1 is a classic example of gear tooth scuffing.

On October 10th, the 9th edition of the Artec lift gear training seminar was held in Saint-Jérôme, QC. Topics included: gear design, gear inspection and installation, and proper gearbox mounting.

Gears are essential parts to the workings of countless machines, but when those machines are dependent on specifically designed gears, then service and repair can become a special niche.

For Artec Machine, servicing equipment furnished with specially engineered gearing is at the very heart of what the company does.

“We consider ourselves a leader on high-quality installations,” said John Amendola, CEO of Artec Machine. “We only work on engineered products. We don’t get involved much with commodity type gears. Gears that you can select out of a catalog, that’s not our business.”
