Custom & Special Gearboxes

Non-catalogue configurations built every week — double output, hollow input and output, double reduction, self-lock, speed increasers, and orientation specials.

Anand Gears custom special gearbox configurations

Specials Capability

If the Catalogue Box Does Not Fit, We Machine One That Does

Most Anand Gears specials start from a real mounting problem: a second shaft, a hollow bore, a non-standard orientation, or a ratio the single-stage worm cannot reach. Our shop builds these as standing custom configurations — not one-off experiments — across NU, Adaptable, ALM/NMRV aluminium, KL bevel, and fabricated helical-bevel families.

Double output shafts (both sides of the wheel)
Hollow input, hollow output, or hollow both ends
Double reduction for high ratios (up to ~1000:1 class builds)
Self-locking specials and high-ratio manual holds
Speed increasers / step-up units (driven or hand)
Under Driven, Over Driven, Top-Bottom, vertical-up / down

Special Configurations We Build Regularly

Double output

Output shaft extended both sides of the worm wheel — used on mixers, dual conveyors, and twin-drive mechanisms. Standing configs on mid CD sizes (e.g. 72 / 84 / 100CD class).

Hollow both ends

Hollow input and hollow output on NU and special bodies for through-shaft and compact motor stacks.

Double reduction

Two-stage reduction for very high ratios and improved efficiency versus an extreme single worm ratio — including motorised vertical packages.

Self-lock specials

High-ratio NU / Adaptable units specified for self-locking hold on lifts, fences, and batch equipment.

Speed increasers

Step-up gearboxes (ratio inverted) for applications that need higher output speed than the input — including manually driven variants.

Orientation specials

Under Driven, Over Driven, Top-Bottom, and LH→Over Driven conversions performed to house nomenclature.

Manufacturing

What the Shop Can Machine

Specials are machined in-house on horizontal and vertical machining centres for housings and covers, CNC lathes for shafts, cylindrical grinding for journals, and hobbing / thread-milling machines for worm wheels and worm shafts. That stack is why custom shaft ends, non-standard bores, and orientation flips are routine rather than exceptional.

FAQ

Custom & Special Gearboxes — Common Questions

What does double reduction up to 1000:1 mean in practice?

A second reduction stage after the worm (or a worm–helical stack) multiplies ratio so very slow outputs are possible without an impractically large single worm. Exact maximum ratio depends on the stages selected for the duty.

Can you convert Under Driven to Over Driven?

Yes. Orientation conversions (including fitting LH and making Over Driven RH) are a documented special practice — confirm lubrication and nameplate orientation on the order.

Do you build speed increasers?

Yes. Step-up / speed-increaser gearboxes are available, including manually driven solid-shaft variants for process equipment.
