Can Horsburgh and Scott match my existing foundation?

H&S specializes in the manufacture of replacement units to fit existing locations. Typically these replacements also include significant increases in load capacity.

I have a Brand 'XYZ' reducer. Can you make replacement gearing?

Many reducers are grouted in concrete which make it impractical to remove the housing. Yes, we provide drop-in assemblies to fit your existing housing provided the critical dimensions are available.

My reducer is 40 years old. Can I still get spare parts?

Horsburgh and Scott provides spare parts for all units manufactured throughout its history. See the Spare Parts area for further details.

I want to upgrade my unit to the latest technology using Carburized gearing. What should I consider before upgrading?

There are many areas to consider in conjunction with upgrading the gearing. For example;

What is the condition of the housing? Surface hardened elements require accurate bore alignment.
What is the load capacity of the shafting, keys, couplings and connected equipment?
What are the bearing life ratings?
What is the current oil viscosity and should it change?

Be sure your gearing supplier has addressed these issues before you "flip the switch" on that larger HP motor.
