OF THE FUTURE
A Material Defining Today and Tomorrow
Increasing requirements in gear manufacturing are creating demand for solutions that are stronger, lighter, more compact, and more cost-effective. Aluminium has become the material of choice thanks to its substantial weight advantage over steel. Reduced weight translates directly into lower operational and production costs, particularly in applications involving constant movement and high mechanical loads.
Every Gram Matters in High-Performance Systems
Excessive weight in gearboxes used in vehicles and machinery — including cars, construction equipment, agricultural machines, cranes, and ships — results in higher energy consumption. Aluminium provides a major benefit in this area, as its density is approximately three times lower than steel. As a result, aluminium cast gearboxes are significantly lighter and contribute to improved energy efficiency.
Gear housings also generate considerable amounts of heat during operation, making effective heat dissipation essential. Due to aluminium’s excellent thermal conductivity, aluminium cast housings efficiently transfer heat to the surrounding environment. Furthermore, cooling fins can be directly integrated into the casting design, increasing cooling performance and supporting reliable long-term operation.
