Overview of V-Drive Gears
V-Drive gears, available from 0% to 26% in 1 1/2 inch wide format, give boat owners precise torque control for Argo marine gearboxes. Argomarine manufactures these gears from EN36A steel for strength and wear resistance. This range covers part numbers AM2000 through AM2026. Because each gear is precision-machined, you achieve consistent alignment, smooth operation, and dependable service life.
Key Features
-
Ratios available in 0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 11%, 14%, 17%, 20%, 23%, and 26%.
-
EN36A steel delivers durability and resistance to wear.
-
1 1/2 inch wide profile suits billet case assemblies.
-
Ratio increments make driveline tuning straightforward. Furthermore, precise machining improves tooth engagement and reduces vibration.
Specifications and Materials
Each gear measures 1 1/2 inch wide and is cut from EN36A steel. The case-hardened finish provides high strength and resistance to fatigue. As a result, these gears handle demanding torque loads and extended marine service. In addition, the machining process ensures accuracy across all ratios, delivering consistent performance.
Compatibility of V-Drive Gears with Argo Gearboxes
These gears suit Argo billet case V-Drive gearboxes. Options include AM2000 (0%), AM2003 (3%), AM2005 (5%), AM2008 (8%), AM2011 (11%), AM2014 (14%), AM2017 (17%), AM2020 (20%), AM2023 (23%), and AM2026 (26%). Consequently, marine engineers can configure drivetrains for acceleration, cruising efficiency, or heavy load handling depending on vessel requirements.
Compliance and Safety
Follow the gearbox manufacturer’s torque and lubrication guidelines. Always wear gloves and eye protection during installation. In addition, apply approved lubricant to reduce wear and prevent overheating.
Marine Applications
Boat owners and repairers use these gears to tune V-Drive assemblies for specific performance outcomes. For example, lower ratios improve long-range cruising efficiency, while higher ratios support stronger acceleration or heavy workloads. Consequently, they suit workboats, cruisers, and high-performance vessels. Furthermore, professional workshops and DIY rebuilders rely on them for predictable, safe outcomes.
Why Choose Argomarine V-Drive Gears
Argomarine combines EN36A steel durability with precision machining to deliver gears that perform under tough conditions. In addition, the broad ratio range provides flexibility for different vessel types. Therefore, when reliability and performance matter, these gears offer a trusted solution for marine drivetrains.
