Cylindrical gear MTH series

helicaldoublecast iron

The MTH series speed multiplier is driven by hydraulic turbines, making it ideal for small hydroelectric plant projects with low water heads. One of its key features is the low-speed shaft, supported by slide bearings compatible with the turbine's clearance, ensuring greater safety and stability during operation. WEG offers complete lines of gearboxes and speed multipliers for a wide range industrial segments. Manufactured in modern production facilities, these products are available in planetary, parallel, orthogonal and turbo lines, as well as custom designed special projects. In addition, WEG provides complete drive solutions, including steam and hydraulic turbines, motors, frequency inverters, generators and transformers. WEG's service scope includes specialized technical consulting on a global level, focusing on maximizing operational availability and ensuring operational safety. Characteristics Applied in generator drives in small hydroelectric plants Power range up to 14,000 kW Cast iron housing and gearing in forged, case-hardened, and ground steel Rotations according to the project Double helical gearing Hollow low-speed shaft with a rigid flange Sliding bearings and axial bearings Availabe in models MTH 560, MTH 630, MTH 710, MTH 800 VH, MTH 900, MTH 1010 VH, MTH 1280 VH Benefícios Application of materials and manufacturing processes that optimize the equipment’s lifespan Increased efficiency of the set due to higher generator speed Low maintenance costs High performance and reliability Greater flexibility in turbine design
