Energy production

Supporting safe and sustainable energy production

For decades, ATA Gears has been designing and manufacturing bevel gears for the energy sector, for example for water turbines. Hydroelectric power plants continue to be an important sector for us, and we are also contributing to the global effort to take wind powered energy to its highest potential. The construction and service of offshore wind farms requires specialized vessels with high maneuverability. They are therefore equipped with multiple thrusters (azimuth and tunnel thrusters), many of which are driven by ATA’s bevel gears. In addition to bevel gears, ATA has also produced highly specialized cylindrical gear components for the water-flow control mechanisms of hydropower plants.

Process industries

Reliable gears for high process availability

As a Finnish company, ATA Gears grew up alongside process industry. Our gears have been ensuring availability and throughput in the papermaking industry as well as in steel plants and rolling mills for decades. We understand the finest points and technical complexities of these demanding manufacturing processes. Today, safety, energy efficiency and performance form the foundation on which ATA’s mechanical power transmission offering is built to help process machinery around the world run flawlessly.

Minerals processing

Optimal tooth contact for maximum availability

ATA Gears engages constantly in research and enjoys successful cooperation with its minerals processing customers around the world. So we know how to meet the extreme demands imposed on minerals processing equipment by the specific properties of basalt, coal, limestone, and other types of minerals and rock. Availability, performance, and safety are key in crushers, grinders, pulverizers and conveyors. With our geared power transmission components, we satisfy those needs and constantly seek alternative ways to overcome any technical challenges.

Specialty vehicles

From dumpers to megacars

Durability and strength have always been top priority in specialty vehicles. In heavy-duty trucks and other commercial vehicles the bevel gear sets must transmit a lot of power with extremely high torque. We closely monitor the technological advancements for even greater safety, comfort and the lowest total operating costs in vehicle design.

ATA Gears keeps many types of vehicles in motion. Throughout our history, we have supplied gears to Formula 1 and rally cars. And a more recent project, a new type of megacar, has created the need for megagears, the small lightweight gears that successfully handle the enormous amount of power going through them in Koenigsegg’s Gemera four-seat grand tourer.

Rail transportation

Driverless but not driveless

Rail transport already has a good environmental and climate record, but rail vehicle engineering companies are investing heavily in research and development to produce lightweight rail motor units for even lower emissions and ever better energy efficiency. ATA Gears plays an important role in this pioneering development. The trains of the future may be driverless but they will not be driveless. Safety, noise minimization and maximized power density are likewise important requirements and these objectives can be achieved by applying ATA’s advanced process in gear design and manufacturing.
