Rolling mill gearboxes
Mill gearboxes and drive trains
Nobody watches the gearbox. Until it stops.
In most mills, every kilowatt that reaches the rolls passes through a gearbox.



Hour after hour, with a shock load each time a billet bites. A mill gearbox has to be built for that moment, not for an average day.
BEISCO designs and manufactures mill gearboxes around the torque, speed and layout of your stands, so the drive train is matched to the mill rather than to a catalogue.
Send us the motor data and the torque at the stand. We will design the gearbox.

How a mill gearbox works
From the motor to the roll, every kilowatt passes here.
- 1MotorDelivers the power, at high speed. The gearbox trades that speed for torque.
- 2GearboxReduces the speed to what the stand needs.
- 3Pinion standSplits the drive between the upper and the lower roll.
- 4SpindlesCarry the torque to the rolls.
- 5StandWhere the torque finally meets the steel.
