A pioneer of modern
gear technology
FLSmidth MAAG Gear was founded
in 1913 and quickly expanded into an
international group that now has almost 100 years of experience in manufacturing gear units. Since introducing the technology of mill gear units
to the cement industry with great success in 1966, we have sold over 6000
MAAG gear units and 1000 girth
gears.

Innovative technology
The LGD integrated side drive system is
based on FLSmidth MAAG Gears
high-quality gear manufacturing
expertise acquired during the last 100
years and its experience in operating
existing integrated side drives.
FLSmidth MAAG Gear is able to deliver
the complete drive system out of one
source. This ensures optimized
adjustment between gear unit and
girth gear and allows specific customer
requests to be carried out more
efficiently.
The success of the LGD is based on its
design using state-of-the-art technology, i.e. torque split pinions and
self-aligning pinions. It is positioned
40 under the mill, allowing a compact
type of construction and involving less
building and foundation costs. A lot of
space and costs are saved as only a

Girth gear
The girth gear is a fabricated design
made up of two or four segments.
The ring where the toothing is located consists of high-quality alloy
steel and is rolled and bent. The rib
is made out of ordinary carbon steel
and is welded to the ring. Internal
stresses are eliminated by heat treatment. With these processes a homogenous crystal structure in the
base material of the toothing is ensured, thereby achieving significantly
higher fatigue and wear resistance
compared to cast girth gears.
The connection to the mill is adaptable to customer needs. The T-section
of the girth gear gives the system an
additional flexibility to absorb misalignment between the mill and the
LGD gear unit.

Auxiliary drive
The auxiliary drive is specially designed
for the LGD gear unites. Its components
are compactly arranged on a common
frame. Therefore the auxiliary drive needs
only a small and simple foundation. Also
installation and alignment is simple due
to the compact design. The auxiliary drive
is engaged and disengaged via an
overrunning claw-type clutch. A fluid
coupling between the auxiliary drive
motor and the auxiliary drive gear unit
provides a smooth start-up.

The gear unit is quickly and easily accessible for maintenance. When replacing
the rotating parts, no crane is needed to
remove the gear unit from the foundation since it can be pulled out using
chain blocks.
