Ferry-Capitain and CMD, with their engineering departments and finite element design software, are able to design all the gears according to their own experience and following the standards in force in the world (AGMA-DIN-ISO).
All needed assistance is provided, in full collaboration with CMD Gears, part of Groupe CIF, such as: installations analysis, on-site dimensional checking, load capacity calculation, definition and optimization of product design and materials, ring-gear parts bolts resizing (in half or quarter), manufacturing from model to packaging, control with test machine meshing if required, on-site assembly and maintenance assistance.
Bearing lifetime installed on the pinion(s) is also calculated and considered.
We work on site before design, thanks to the FC Services department, whose technicians work all over the world.
FERRY-CAPITAIN manufactures all types of spur, helical and chevron gears.
Modern equipment, forming and casting methods ensure a high-quality of materials produced in our foundries. Machining and cutting tools guarantee quality requirements in realised parts.
FC Services technician division ensure maintenance and customer support by managing the supervision during the assembly and commissioning of the facilities.
