Centrifugal Gearboxes

Achieve low vibration operation and stable process conditions – even at high speeds.

When high speeds, low vibration operation, and stable process conditions are crucial, centrifugal gearboxes are used

AKIM centrifugal gearboxes are consistently custom-designed. They are designed for demanding process applications where speed, vibration behavior, temperature, and medium must be precisely matched – for smooth, safe, and long-lasting operation.

Important:

Our solutions are generally based on modified standard gearboxes, which we adapt to the dimensions, torque, or interfaces of your application – saving time and budget. And if your project requires more, we develop a special gearbox together.

Frequently asked questions about AKIM Solutions

Why are centrifuge gearboxes always custom-designed?

Centrifuge applications vary greatly in terms of speed, medium, temperature, and vibration behavior. A standard solution would usually not meet these requirements. Therefore, each centrifuge gearbox is precisely designed for the process.

How important is the vibration behavior in centrifuge drives?

Very important. Vibrations affect not only the lifespan of the drive but also the process quality. AKIM takes vibration behavior into account already in the design.

Are high speeds possible permanently?

Yes. AKIM centrifuge gearboxes are designed for continuous operation at high speeds – provided the design is based on real process data.

Can existing systems be retrofitted?

In many cases, yes. We review existing applications and develop suitable retrofit or replacement solutions.

Are there spare parts for old/older AKIM gearboxes?

Yes. We supply spare parts even for gearboxes from the 1920s – our documentation is complete/comprehensive and archived.
