Power transmission components designed for long lasting performance
While the demand for new consumer product and packaging increases, the need for packaging machinery makers to provide filling machines to fulfill customer expectations for more speed and accuracy as well as flexibility and reliability is also greater.
As you continue to build machines that can accommodate a wide range of capacities and viscosities, and choice of filling operations to meet specific application requirements, the Altra team can assist you by providing quality components so that you can provide the reliable equipment that your customers expect and provide machines that can withstand the test of time!
The PosiVent® features a unique
pressure equalization system
designed to keep water, washdown solution and other contaminants out of gearboxes in food processing applications. With this patent-pending design, gearbox failure associated
with contaminants such as bakery dust entering and breaking down lubricants and causing premature failure is prevented.
Designed for caustic washdown
applications, units feature trusted 700 Series worm gearing, a 316 stainless rounded housing with smooth uninterrupted surfaces designed to prevent particle accumulation and pooling fluids, double lipped shaft seals, covers for all hardware and counter bored holes.

Boston Gear Stainless Steel, Bost-Kleen and Stainless Bost-Kleen: Robust enough to handle the most caustic and high pressure washdown, strong enough to go 24/7, and priced
so they won't break the bank! The performance will impress you!
Integrate Centric overload clutches into your machine and reduce the damage and lost productivity that can occur due to equipment jams or loading problems. Centric clutches
provide a more accurate method
of torque control over thousands
of trips with no operator intervention.
Warner Electric’s Unimodule Clutch/Brake modules provide the ultimate in application versatility, from rapid cycling and accurate positioning, to soft controlled starts and stops. These modules come completely
pre-assembled, pre-aligned, and
pre-burnished at the factory for
maximum performance right out
of the box.

A wide selection of couplings are offered including precision and large precision bellows couplings which provide excellent kinetic properties. Zero backlash single piece couplings are available in six beam (two stage), three beam (single stage), and single beam models. Various types of general purpose couplings are also available.
A unique motor adapter and bushing module system design allow for quick and easy mounting of our gearheads to all popular servomotors. Stainless steel construction. In-line, right angle and high speed models are available.
These metal disc couplings consist of two hubs, a spacer and two high strength carbon or stainless steel flexible discs. Units feature zero backlash, require no maintenance and are easily interchangeable. Modified and special designs are commonly supplied to meet specific application conditions. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, or with corrosion resistant coatings. Close couple, spacer and floating shaft designs are also available.
These units combine the best of both chain and belt drives, providing positive power transmission and accurate speeds while requiring little maintenance. Load capacities scale up to 1200 HP at 1750 RPM.
