When it comes to machinery with heavy-duty applications, where power and torque are paramount, gearboxes emerge as crucial components that enable machinery to function efficiently and reliably. From construction equipment to industrial machinery, gearboxes play a pivotal role in transmitting power and adapting torque to suit the demanding requirements of these applications.
As certified agents for Rexnord’s Industrial Services, we offer new, used, renewed, and rebuilt Falk gear reducers that help industries succeed.
Learn how and why Falk gearboxes have become the industry standard for heavy-duty applications.
