Project planning
Thanks to their remarkable material properties, girth gears made of ADI** can have less than half
the weight of girth gears made of conventional materials that offer the same performance and
safety. Project planning for girth gears by SEW-EURODRIVE is therefore an important requirement
for creating customer benefits. The high degree of segmentation ensures that individual customer
requirements can be met in an ideal way.
