A Legacy of Cooling Tower Excellence
Since 1917, The Amarillo Gear Company has been the gold standard for reliability in the cooling tower, HVAC, and industrial pumping sectors. Known for their robust Right-Angle Spiral Bevel Gear Drives and direct replacements for Marley towers, Amarillo units are engineered to withstand the punishing humidity and continuous load of industrial cooling. However, even the toughest gearboxes have a breaking point. When they fail, you need a partner who understands the specific tolerances of Amarillo gearing. You need Specialty Gear Drive
Amarillo drives operate in harsh environments (wet, humid cooling towers), leading to specific breakdown patterns. We commonly see and repair:
Factory-Spec Rebuilding with In-House Manufacturing
Unlike general machine shops that “farm out” the hard work, Specialty Gear Drives handles everything in-house. This allows us to cut lead times from weeks to days.
We pick up your unit anywhere in the nation and perform a complete tear-down, steam clean, and MPI (Magnaflux) crack detection to identify invisible stress fractures.
All bearing fits and bores are measured against original Amarillo OEM tolerances to ensure proper alignment and longevity.
Damaged spiral bevel or helical gears are manufactured in-house. We cut, heat treat, and grind new gears to meet or exceed original Rockwell hardness.
Premium Timken or SKF bearings and high-temp Viton seals are installed, with backlash and bearing preloads reset to factory specifications.
Every unit is spin-tested under load to monitor vibration, noise, and temperature before it leaves our shop.
