Local Service. National Support. Global Expertise.

The maritime world is increasingly complex, and so too are the demands placed on the equipment used in today’s marine industry. From fireboats used to combat disasters, to tugs guiding ever-larger container ships into safe harbor, to the LNG and oil tankers charged with keeping the world supplied with energy, or dredges helping to restore hurricane ravaged beaches, downtime cannot be tolerated. Simple as that.

At Philadelphia Gear, now part of Timken Power Systems (TPS), our goal is to help you with that burden so you can stay focused on your core mission. Regardless of your application, you can rely on our 125 years of experience to keep you operational.

Our one-stop-shop aftermarket solution is comprised of three major offerings (discussed in detail on the next page), and applies to all of TPS’s proprietary brands: Philadelphia Gear, Western Gear, WesTech Gear, DeLaval Steam Turbine, and GE Marine gearing.

Commercial Marine Applications

Inspect, Repair and Upgrade Services

Quick turnaround times for the inspection and overhaul of mission critical gearboxes is at the heart of our value proposition. Each one of our service centers is equipped with world-class machinery and technicians to ensure we hold to our exact OEM specifications, and to fulfill our service promise.

Staffed with engineers and shop personnel – gear experts thoroughly skilled in performing gearbox failure root cause analysis – we provide full disassembly and cleaning, inspection and measurement, engineering evaluation and scope of work recommendations, performance of repairs, and full-speed spin tests. And all work done in our service and manufacturing centers is backed by a 3-year warranty

OEM Renewal Parts

The engineering team at Philadelphia Gear has centuries of technical expertise in power transmission equipment design and support. This diversified experience has been developed over decades by supplying a full range of product offerings from high-speed MRGs, to turning gears, to clutches, to auxiliary lube oil pumps and more.

Experienced in virtually every type of power transmission application, our engineers understand the critical relationships between elements of a gear drive and the demands of specific marine applications. Additionally, each facility has immediate online access to over 4 million technical documents, as well as 24/7 access to design engineering staff at the Corporate Engineering and Technical Center in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Onsite Technical Services (OTS)

Because Philadelphia Gear understands marine gearbox applications better than anyone, we know it’s not always feasible to remove a gearbox and send it to one of our service centers. That’s why we invented OTS. Designed to help our marine customers resolve their gearbox related issues while the vessel remains in the water, the OTS team is capable of a wide array of on-site solutions, including: removing and reinstalling equipment, rebuilding units in-place, re-boring housings, machining thrust faces, honing gear teeth, etc., and can be deployed globally on a rapid-response basis.

Customers now have the option of cutting a single P.O. for us to accomplish an agreed upon scope of work on a fixed-price basis. Simply put, our mission is the same as yours – to extend the longevity and reliability of critical rotating equipment as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
