Elecon High Speed Gearboxes & Retrofits

Elecon engineering has expertise in designing and manufacturing high speed, high power gearboxes.

Artec Machine is the official U.S. representative for Elecon Engineering, providing advanced high-speed gearbox solutions to industries that require precision, efficiency, and durability. The TA and TAD Turbo Gear Units are engineered for high-speed power transmission, offering exceptional reliability in turbomachinery, compressors, and boiler feed pump systems.

Industries

  • Power Generation
  • Sugar Industry

Design

Design is based on RENK guidelines. Elecon had co-operation with RENK for high-speed gearboxes from 1988 to 1994.

Design Standards

  • AGMA – 6011
  • AGMA – 6010
  • API-613 (5th Edition)
  • API-677 (2nd Edition)

Achievements

Elecon has manufactured gearboxes up to 23,000 kW and speeds up to 10,000 rpm.

Retrofits and Overhaul Capabilities:

New gearboxes/gear internals with upgraded power or change in ratio can be fitted to existing foundations based on your existing center distance and center height.

  • Completely new gearboxes on your existing foundations
  • Manufacturing of only gear wheels and pinions to fit in the existing casing.
  • New gearboxes/gear internals with upgraded power or change in ratio.

Precision-Engineered for High-Speed Power Transmission

The TA Turbo Gear Unit is a single-stage step-up or reduction gearbox with horizontally offset shafts, designed for maximum efficiency and load distribution. Its double helical gear design offers significant advantages over single helical alternatives, making it an ideal choice for turbo generators, turbo compressors, and boiler feed pumps.

Key Features of the TA Turbo Gear Unit:

  • High Efficiency & Load Balancing – Double helical gears eliminate axial thrust, ensuring smooth, high-speed operation with minimal energy loss.
  • Compact & Robust Construction – Engineered for space-saving installations, with low noise and vibration levels.
  • Superior Tooth Flank Modification – Enables high pitch line velocity, critical for large-scale industrial applications requiring precise power transmission.
  • Designed for High-Speed Power Transmission – Supports applications up to 150,000 kW, making it a leading choice for industrial high-speed gearboxes.
Rated Input Power  10 ,960  kW
Input Speed 9400 rpm
Ratio 6.259 : 1
Service factor (Min) 1.7 as per AGMA 6011-J14
Type &  Size EHLD 660S

TAD - Turbo Gear Unit (Custom High-Speed Helical Gearbox)

TAD - Turbo Gear Unit (Custom High-Speed Helical Gearbox)

Optimized for High-Speed Performance and Axial Thrust Management

The TAD Turbo Gear Unit is a single-stage gearbox with horizontally offset shafts, optimized for high-speed applications where axial thrust compensation is required. Unlike the TA unit, the TAD model features a single helical gear design with an integrated thrust collar, effectively managing axial loads.

Key Features of the TAD Turbo Gear Unit:

  • Optimized for Axial Thrust Management – The thrust collar technique compensates for helical gear forces, reducing mechanical stress and enhancing operational stability.
  • High Precision Tooth Flank Modification – Ensures low noise operation, extended gear life, and minimal wear under extreme conditions.
  • Ideal for High-Speed Compressors & Turbo Machinery – Designed for turbomachinery applications, ensuring consistent, high-efficiency performance under demanding loads.
