GEAR REDUCER WAS REBUILT BY LUFKIN GEAR AND BRAND NEW GEAR ASSEMBLYS MANUFACTURED BY EQUILON ENTERPRISES ( AN ELLIOTT COMPANY ) CASING REWORKED COMPLETELY BEARINGS AND ALL, WITH BRAND NEW GEAR ASSEMBLY UNIT IS BASICALLY NEW !

The Lufkin Gear Reducer Model N24040 is a refurbished industrial equipment designed for high-speed applications. This gear reducer features a nominal ratio of 3.63 to 1, facilitating an input speed of 1780 RPM to reach an output speed of 6477 RPM. It is rated for an impressive power capacity of 6000 HP, making it suitable for demanding operations like driving centrifugal compressors or high-speed pumps. Rebuilt by Lufkin with a brand new gear set, this unit promises robust performance and reliability. It belongs to the Lufkin "Type N" high-speed, parallel shaft family, recognized for efficient power transmission. Its design is ideal for scenarios requiring a speed increaser capability, commonly utilized in sectors such as turbomachinery applications. For industries requiring high-power and high-speed solutions, this gear reducer fits well in various contexts, including gas transmission, process air systems, and industrial testing environments. It represents a dependable choice for infrastructure seeking enhanced operational efficiency and durability.

This specific equipment matches a industrial, parallel-shaft high-speed gear unit manufactured by Lufkin Gears (a Baker Hughes company). Because the output RPM is substantially higher than the input RPM, this unit is technically operating as a speed increaser (commonly utilized in turbomachinery applications, such as driving centrifugal compressors or high-speed pumps). 

Operational Specifications & Verification

• Manufacturer: Lufkin Gears
• Model:
• N24040
• ( belongs to the Lufkin "Type N" high-speed/parallel shaft family)
• Power Rating: 6,000 HP
• Input Speed: 1,780 RPM (Standard 4-pole induction motor synchronous speed under full load)
• Output Speed: 6,477 RPM
