About the Amarillo Gear A500
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 A500 is a right-angle bevel, industrial unit with a rated capacity of 30–80 HP and output torque of 9,000–36,000 ft-lb. Typical operating weight is 474–870 lbs. Mounting configurations include Foot, flange.
Amarillo cooling tower units most commonly fail from bevel gear wear, bearing fatigue in outdoor environments, and seal failure from water exposure.
When your Amarillo Gear A500 fails, downtime costs mount fast. Our standard rebuild turnaround is 8–14 business days with free freight both directions. Emergency 24–72 hour service is available. We publish pricing before teardown — no surprises.
