Research & Development

The Kumera Power Transmission Division has significant resources at its disposal to carry out extensive R & D work within its field of activity.

All products fulfill the requirements of international standards as DIN, ISO and AGMA.


MATERIALS

The gears and shafts are made from high quality steels. Due the fact that the essentiality of gear unit is to transmit the power with the highest possible torque, Kumera pays attention to selecting also cast materials to do this. The housings are normally gray cast iron, but in special cases may be welded construction or nodular cast iron.

TEST RUNS, CHARACTERISTICS OF OPERATION

After the assembly of the first units, standard or special, all gears and gear units will be test run. Special attention is given to the measurements of temperature, noise and vibration. The lubrication system is checked for optimum operation, and assurance of oil tightness is of verified. These test runs can be made with or without load.

Protocols of the test runs are available upon request.
