Cutting-edge Mechanical Power Transmission design

At Crofts Gears, we are committed to designing and manufacturing reliable, high-performance mechanical power transmission solutions for a wide range of industries. With over 60 years of local experience, we have reignited our vision to deliver innovative, best-in-class gear units by utilising the latest materials, advanced manufacturing processes, and modern engineering practices.

Our extensive industry knowledge allows us to not only support and maintain the trusted workhorses found across industrial environments, but also to apply new learnings and technological advancements to develop locally manufactured gear units that set new benchmarks for durability, efficiency, and performance.

Best-in-Class Gear Units, Designed for Demanding Applications

Unlike mass-produced alternatives that prioritise cost reduction and ease of manufacture, Crofts Gears products are manufactured in smaller volumes with pride, precision, and a passion for quality. Our agile, local manufacturing approach enables us to incorporate premium features, specialised materials, and advanced design elements that elevate our gear units above those of many competitors.

Each unit is engineered for:

Long-term endurance
Ease of maintenance
Reliable performance in harsh and demanding environments

These qualities are essential for modern industrial operations where uptime, safety, and efficiency are critical.

Customisable, Flexible, and Easy to Maintain

Our mechanical power transmission gear units are freely customisable and can be designed as drop-in replacements, significantly reducing the need for costly modifications to existing plant infrastructure. Units are available in a wide range of sizes, ratios, and configurations, offering maximum flexibility across applications.

Key design benefits include:

Reversible gear unit designs, allowing a single spare to be used across multiple installations
Split casings and large inspection plates for faster servicing and reduced maintenance costs
Specialised steels and advanced hardening processes for enhanced strength and longevity
State-of-the-art gear tooth geometry for smooth, efficient power transmission
Oil directional baffle plates and traps to improve lubrication control
Cooling and stabiliser fins to maintain low operating temperatures
Low vibration and noise levels for improved reliability and operator comfort

These features combine to deliver gear units with exceptional rigidity, thermal stability, and operational efficiency.
