NGC: Global technology leader

With more than 500 national patents, NGC is recognised worldwide for its technology-driven approach to gearbox manufacturing. Their product portfolio covers a wide range of industrial applications, including:

  • Standard industrial gearboxes
  • Planetary gearboxes
  • High-speed units
  • Metallurgy rolling mill gearboxes
  • Rubber and plastic industry gearboxes
  • Wind turbines

NGC’s products are designed for performance in demanding environments, making them ideal for Australia’s mining, energy and heavy industrial sectors.

Through this partnership, NGC’s full gearbox product range is now readily accessible in Australia, with full support from GDS for both sales and servicing.

GDS will not only provide full technical support but end-to-end lifecycle support from supply to overhaul and testing of all products.

With rapid turnarounds and extensive stock supply held locally, this partnership offers a fully integrated supply and service solution for the Australian market — one that is built on innovation, precision and reliability.

GDS: Local expertise, advanced capabilities

With over 20 years serving Australia’s industrial and mining sectors, GDS is one of the country’s most experienced industrial gearbox repair specialists. Operating from a state-of-the-art 6,000m² facility in Perth, WA, GDS supports many tier-one miners and major industrial operations across the country.

GDS’s key capabilities include:

Full overhaul and refurbishment

  • Strip, assess and inspect all gearbox components
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) and dimensional checks
  • Detailed reporting and quality control at every step
  • Full rebuild, refurbishment and load testing reporting included
  • All new gearboxes supplied are tested at GDS to customer specification
  • Assembly verified by dual technicians with photographic documentation

Advanced load testing

GDS operates one of Australia’s most advanced gearbox load testing facilities, capable of testing gearboxes with a power range from 10kw to 3500kw ranging from ratios of 5:1 to 900:1.

The advanced control system can test the different styles of power transmission gearboxes and simulate exact onsite operating conditions.

Complete drive assembly can be load tested utilising the final installed motor and coupling arrangement. Motors are connected and tuned to GDS’s control system so a load test can be carried out on the entire assembly.

Load test data is logged in 1-second intervals and a report is created containing information on temperatures, power and speed figures and a formal report is compiled.

With more than 70 years of combined industry experience, this partnership delivers unparalleled expertise and the highest quality industrial gearbox solutions to Australian resource and industrial sectors.
