At Specialty Gear Drives, we specialize in the rapid analysis and repair of Falk Industrial Drives.
All Fields Must Be Filled Out
For over a century, Falk Gearboxes have been the workhorses of American industry. But when a V-Class, Quadrive, or massive A-Plus parallel shaft drive goes down, the lead time for OEM parts can cripple your production schedule. At Specialty Gear Drives, we specialize in the rapid analysis and repair of Falk Industrial Drives. We don’t just patch them up; we return them to you in better-than-OEM condition, often saving you up to 60% compared to buying new.
Why Industry Giants Choose Falk
Founded by Herman Falk in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, The Falk Corporation started by welding streetcar rails before becoming the undisputed king of heavy industrial gearing. From driving the propellers of WWII battleships to moving the gates of the Panama Canal, Falk gearboxes are built for one thing: Extreme Durability. Now owned by Rexnord, Falk remains the standard for high-torque applications in mining, cement, paper, and marine industries. But even these legendary units suffer from metal fatigue. When they do, you need a repair center that understands the metallurgy behind the name. You need Specialty Gear Drives.
Built Tough, But Not Indestructible.
Falk drives often operate in “shock load” environments (crushers, mills, conveyors). We frequently analyze and repair:
High Hertzian stresses on gear teeth cause surface fatigue and spalling, gradually destroying the gear mesh profile.
Improper alignment with motors or driven loads creates excessive vibration, leading to seal failure and bearing seizure.
Low oil levels or sludge buildup cause scuffing on helical gears, generating heat and resulting in catastrophic lock-up.
Sudden production line jams send shock loads through the gearbox, snapping teeth on the low-speed shaft.
Why We Are The Best In The Industry
Factory-Spec Rebuilding with In-House Gear Manufacturing
Many repair shops wait weeks for Rexnord to ship a pinion shaft. We make it ourselves. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to cut lead times from months to days.
We immediately pick up your unit, steam clean it, fully disassemble it, and remove all paint and rust.
Magnetic Particle Inspection is used to detect hidden hairline cracks in casings and gear roots.
We reverse-engineer and manufacture new double-helical or herringbone gears using OEM-grade alloy steel.
Washed-out housing bores are sleeved and re-machined to restore original bearing interference fits.
Premium Timken or SKF bearings are installed and end-play/preload is set to factory specifications.
Every rebuilt Falk unit is spin-tested for noise, vibration, and temperature stability before shipping.
