Dodge Tigear®-2 Gear

Tigear® stands for “Tough Industrial Gear” and is built with the uncompromising Dodge® design standard to provide long life in demanding industrial applications. After decades of proven field experience, side-by-side testing in our advanced lab demonstrated its best-in-class durability over the competition.

The rigorous testing compared three brand-new gearboxes from each of the three manufacturers using consistent parameters. All units were tested at an output torque of 1,580 lb-in, which is equivalent to the following ratings for each gearbox: 200 percent for Tigear-2, 197 percent for Competitor B, and 179 percent for Competitor C. Testing was performed for 500 hours or until gearbox failure, whichever came first. Once testing was complete, each unit was disassembled for evaluation where individual components such as the worm shaft and worm gear were closely inspected.
 

In testing, Competitor B had an average failure time of 174 hours of operation from the nearly complete wearing of the worm gear’s teeth and Competitor C's units each displayed a noticeable wear step in the worm gear. In each comparison, the Dodge Tigear-2 proved to be tougher and outlasted the competition. Pairing its numerous rugged design choices with the extensive testing results, Tigear-2 is the only solution to ensure you get the longest life out of your gearbox regardless of your application requirements.
