Amarillo Right Angle Pump Drive
In 1934, Amarillo Gear Company began designing and manufacturing spiral bevel right angle gear drives primarily for the irrigation industry. Because of the reliable, efficient, and economic operation of these drives, they were met with widespread acceptance.
Today, Amarillo manufactures the largest selection of right angle gear drives available. Our standard models include a large assortment of drives in a wide range of ratios and various configurations. They are highly adaptable to many applications in many different industries.
One reason for the continued growth and acceptance of Amarillo gear drives is their consistent quality — not only in the materials used but also in their workmanship as well.
