Kress, D.  1993.  A gear drive is the lifeline of most machines and with today’s emphasis on operating efficiency in sugar industry, selection of the proper drive has become increasingly important. A number of factors enter into selection of a gear drive, including service factor, drive rating, thermal capacity, speed variation, equivalent power, drive ratio and physical size. All must be evaluated to make the right decision. Specifying and Selecting Gear Drives. Sugar y Azucar, March 1993:24-31.
