Limited Warranty law, The Amarillo Gear Composite Drive Shaft is guaranteed against defects in workmanship and material for a period of one year after installation when operated under normal service at rated capacity. Within the above stated period, the manufacturer will replace the defective parts returned transportation prepaid. The buyer shall not be entitled to incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses. The guarantee will not apply to repairs made outside the factory without the consent of the manufacturer or to drive shafts that have been subject to abuse, accident, neglect or improper installation. No warranty is made in regard to trade accessories, machinery, or other articles of merchandise not manufactured by us.

Fax or e-mail a completed Application Data Request Form to Amarillo Gear at F: 806-622-3258, or infowamarilogear.com Or 2. Use Amarilo Gear Company's automated selection program at www.amarilogear.com. Just enter your application data and let the program do the rest. -or- 4, Use the manual selection method as shown below, Determine the motor torque in in-b using the following equation Motor torque = Motor HP x 68,000 / Motor RPM. Select the model that provides equal or more continuous torque rating from the Engineering Data Table Il, Note that the values in Table Il include a 2.0 service factor. Make sure the motor peak overload torque is less than the allowable peak avertoad torque shown in the Engineering Data Table I Select the tube size/type (ast 4 digits of the model number) with a maximum DBSE that meets or exceeds the application's DBSE at the motor speed, Example: Motor Torque (1785 rpm, 75 hp motor) = 2647 int ‘pplication OBSE = 120 Setection Model CF80 425L (torque rating = 3175 in-Bb, Max. DBSE at 1785 rpm's 122") 4, Calculate the critical speed (WD, ) of the shaft using the folowing equation: As7.8 x 10° Oc= “spBse* “BSE sin inches) Las aig efMadeiNumter [ave ort[ mrax [ema [ezax [coo ooox [soot [00x [| os0x [ris ake fr zav7_[ 2967 | ssi | ass | sess | eaat | 7.108 | ast | tose [12778 @. Make sure that the calculated critical speed is at least 15% greater than the intended operating speed, or 2080 for this example, and that the frst three harmonics of blade pass frequency (fan speed x number of fan blades) are atleast 10%, 115968 36 respectively away rom the cial speed.

Our many years of experience in cooling tower power transmission systems provided this, rratural extension into designing and manufacturing composite drive shafts. Each drive shaft connects the electric motor to the gearbox input shaft, thereby transmitting torque to rotate the cooling tower fan. These drive shafts will accommodate spans ranging from 2 feet in small HVAC towers, to over 20 feet in large field erected towers. Amarillo Gear has always been a leader in new and innovative products for the cooling tower and heat ‘exchanger industries. We listen to what the problems are, and then design our products to provide superior performance. Based upon customer surveys and input from cooling tower industry professionals, Amarillo Gear has designed, manufactured and tested its composite drive shafts to incorporate the following features and benefits: Comparison with Steel Drive Shafts Features High Strength to Weight Ratio Inherent Corrosion Resistance Long Spans Patented Composite Flex Disc Dimensionally Stable Vibration & Shock Control Benefits Composite center spacer member weight is a mere fraction of the weight of a steel drive shaft center member. Composite materials have corrosion resistance exceeding that of 316 stainless steel Eliminates requirement for high maintenance and costly intermediate pillow block bearings. Low maintenance: no fretting corrosion of steel “shim” packs, plus much easier installation and maintenance. Very low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE). The natural dampening of composite materials reduces the transmission of vibration throughout the power train, resulting in less wear and tear on mechanical equipment. Comparison with Other Composite Drive Shafts Features Greater Misalignment Tolerance Composite Flex Discs Registered Bushings & Flanges High Strength Composite Flange Hubs 316 SS Flange Hubs Standard 316 SS Hardware High Service Factor Rating Durable UV Resistant Coating Balancing Process Verification Easier Installation Special Shipping Tubes Benefits When misalignment occurs due to mechanical equipment shifting, greater than one degree of angular misalignment per flex disc allowed. Color coded by size for easy identification. Includes integral 316 SS bushings. Lower stress concentrations and better assurance of alignment. Spacer tube flange hubs are strong and corrosion resistant, while at the same time lightweight, reducing overhung loads. Corrosion resistance of stainless steel for motor & gearbox hubs. . Since precision hardware is not required, fasteners are easily replaced, and at lower costs. Optional monel hardware available. - Capable of withstanding repetitive high start-up torques. Longer lasting protection from UV degradation Al drive shafts are dynamically balanced to AGMA 9000-C80, Class 9 specifications. Each Amarillo composite drive shaft is tested to 4 times, continuous operating torque prior to shipment. - Fewer parts required at each flex disc connection. Designed to give ultimate drive shaft protection for both international and domestic shipments.Amarillo Composite Drive Shafts For Cooling Towers The composite drive shafts produced by Amarillo Gear Company for cooling towers reflect a long history of quality workmanship and reliability. Amarillo Gear has been designing and manufacturing power transmission products since 1934, and the commitment to excellence continues today. Amarillo Gear is, proud to be a certified ISO 9001:2000 company. Design features and ratings of the Amarillo Gear Composite Drive Shafts are in accordance with, or exceed, the minimum requirements of AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) standards.
