About the Amarillo Gear 1000
Amarillo Gear drives are the standard for cooling tower applications — their right-angle bevel gear design handles the specific demands of cooling tower fan drives. Amarillo Gear (based in Amarillo, TX) provides direct factory parts support and their units are highly rebuildable.
The 1000 is a cooling tower right-angle bevel unit with a rated capacity of 150–450 HP and output torque of 55,000–220,000 ft-lb. Typical operating weight is 2,550–4,682 lbs. Mounting configurations include Flange-mount.
Amarillo cooling tower units most commonly fail from bevel gear wear, bearing fatigue in outdoor environments, and seal failure from water exposure.
