In order to ensure that your machine works safely, you should always choose original spare parts.

The use of genuine bevel gear has even greater importance for the reliability of the axle than any other spare part. The failure of a bevel gear can cause more damage to connected components.

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NON-ORIGINAL AND A GENUINE BEVEL GEAR?

  • The Carraro original pinion is made with Jominy steel sheets, which assures the heat treatment constancy. In this process, the parameters such as the hardness, depth, and deformation will be constant regardless of the production batches.
  • Carraro works directly with the best steelworks thanks to the huge amount of steel used for its gears.
  • The Carraro original pinion is calculated, designed and tested in result of many years of experience.

Which One Would You Buy?

Two bevel gears (Carraro genuine and non-genuine) subjected to 500 hours of testing, corresponding to 10,000 hours of field work.

CONCLUSION

When purchasing a bevel gear, you should also take into account the maintenance costs and the machine downtime in case of a breakdown. A non-original part might seem advantageous at the first sight because of the cost difference, however, any gap in cost doesn’t cover the risks mentioned above.
