Controlled Start Transmission

The Controlled Start Transmission (CST) system is a multi-stage gear reducer combined with a wet brake acting as a clutch unit and a hydraulic control system. It’s designed for smooth-starting high inertia loads. The output torque from a CST unit is controlled via a hydraulic control system. By varying the hydraulic pressure applied to the clutch, the output torque can be varied. Dodge services and upgrades are available for Dodge CST gear reducers. All work is performed using genuine factory parts built to factory specifications by Dodge factory employees.

Couplings

Bushings, Hubs, & Collars

Designed to Do More with Your Dodge Equipment : Bushings, hubs, and collars are accessories for mechanical drive components. Bushings are linings for a round hole between two parts, which help regulate the transmission of energy. Hubs are useful for welding into fan rotors, impellers, agitators, etc., which require secure mounting to the shaft. Collars are used to accommodate components on power transmission application and are available in solid steel and solid iron.

Belted Drives

Made for Safe, Efficient Production : V-belts and synchronous drives are widely used to change speeds and transmit torque from a drive, such as an electric motor to the driven equipment. Proper alignment is critical to maximize the life of the belted drive.

V-Belt Sheaves

Dodge v-drive sheaves are manufactured to ISO 9002 quality standards with precision machining that meets or exceeds joint RMA/MPTA industry standards for smooth operation and extended belt life. This design provides low economical costs per horsepower transmitted due to shock load and vibration isolation, creating clean, quiet operation.

V-Belts

V-belts allow for compact, lighter-weight drives and feature a high-strength tension member for rated power with minimum stretch. Their molded cog construction accommodates extended belt lengths. S-L classic, classic cog, polyband, and wedge v-belts are also available.

Synchronous Sprockets and Belts

Synchronous sprockets improve drives with a curvilinear timing belt. A reinforced belt wraps around and engages a motor-driven sprocket or pulley to transmit translational or rotational motion.

Roller Chain Sprockets

Roller chain sprockets reliably handle high-shock loads and deliver large amounts of torque. For ease of installation and removal, Dodge offers roller chain sprockets featuring Taper-Lock bushings. Dodge also offers Torque-Tamer clutches, an overload protection device for roller chain drives that protects the system’s driven equipment.

Motor Bases

Motor bases are made of steel, which offers a base of rugged design while being compact and smooth in appearance. Bases are designed to provide adequate travel and are fully adjustable by the use of a single adjusting screw and the elongated mounting holes in the base plate.
