Our speed reducers feature a solid housing that provide ample strength for proper gear alignment. The Alten “G” series herringbone gear speed reducers have continuous tooth gearing that increase strength and dimensional accuracy of high caliber. Our gears and bearing operate in a flood or bath of oil with self-adjusting wipers on the sides of the slow speed gear ensure there is a steady return of oil.
