For optimal torque delivery as a function of cost, there arecritical parameters that need to be communicated to the geardesigner from the mill builder when designing gear drive systemsfor ore grinding applications. Apart from loads and speeds,interface dimensions and site specific conditions are also needed.Deciding up front which gear rating practice to select can affectthe torque capacity of the drive train by ~15%. How to deliver thetorque to the mill pinion, either by a gear reducer or low speedmotor, influences the distribution of cost between the prime moverand the gear train. This paper will outline the designconsiderations that go into construction of the drive system inorder to explain why specific data is required and where designfreedom is necessary. A clear specification up front that allowsfor matching interface dimensions while allowing for the most costefficient up front design achieves this goal.
