To keep your transportation applications up and running profitably, reliably, and economically, we annually invest 25 to 40 percent of our gross revenue back into highly productive new equipment, such as the Kapp Form Gear Grinder.
This machine produces the high-precision crankshaft gearing for the American Le Mans (ALMS) series racecars that travel up to 200 miles per hour. By controlling involutes and index variations, we minimize their transmission errors and maximize their strength and the staying power necessary for those extra laps.
Whether it be locomotives, drag racing cars, diesel fuel pumps for trucks, flywheels, motorcycles, brush hogs, or special-accuracy rack and pinion mechanical and electrical steering drives—they move faster and smoother with our gears.
