Atlanta Gear Works
Large Main GB
Atlanta Gear Works (AGW) is a Full Service Company that offer many services associated with gears and gearboxes.

AGW specializes in rebuilding and repairing all makes and models of:
  • gearboxes
  • line shaft equipment (PIVs, differentials, hypoids, transfer cases
  • hydropulper gearboxes
Custom Gearing
AGW has in-house gear cutting capabilities up to 72" in diameter. Currently we have eight gear cutting machines to help support our gearbox repair facility and to supply custom gearing to customer prints or samples.

Positive Speed Control
PSC - Positive Speed Control (PIV replacement) can convert your reliable differential drive system into a sectional electric drive system without losing the advantages of the differentials. PSC is a truly affordable system conversion without the expense of costly downtime. Safety concerns over differential overspeed are eliminated by the inclusion of an anti-rotation device (backstop).

Stocking Program
Atlanta Gear Works stocks complete differential gearboxes, in many cases ready for immediate delivery.  Our stock units can be built to your machine's specifications.

Field Service Inspection
Atlanta Gear Works has experienced Technical Service Representatives and crews that can be sent to your plant to provide gearbox inspections.

In Place Repairs and Upgrades
Atlanta Gear Works has experienced Technical Service Representatives and crews that can be sent to your plant to perform in-place gearbox repairs. In many cases AGW can upgrade your gearbox by providing hardened gears during the rebuild or by providing carburized or nitrided gears.
