Non-catalogue configurations built every week — double output, hollow input and output, double reduction, self-lock, speed increasers, and orientation specials.
Specials Capability
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.
Configuration Menu
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 input and hollow output on NU and special bodies for through-shaft and compact motor stacks.
Two-stage reduction for very high ratios and improved efficiency versus an extreme single worm ratio — including motorised vertical packages.
High-ratio NU / Adaptable units specified for self-locking hold on lifts, fences, and batch equipment.
Step-up gearboxes (ratio inverted) for applications that need higher output speed than the input — including manually driven variants.
Under Driven, Over Driven, Top-Bottom, and LH→Over Driven conversions performed to house nomenclature.
Manufacturing
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
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.
Yes. Orientation conversions (including fitting LH and making Over Driven RH) are a documented special practice — confirm lubrication and nameplate orientation on the order.
Yes. Step-up / speed-increaser gearboxes are available, including manually driven solid-shaft variants for process equipment.
