Oil Drilling Gearbox
KAIBO’s oil drilling gearbox, engineered for harsh environments, delivers torque, low vibration, long life via precision gears, rugged housing & advanced cooling. Ideal for onshore/offshore rigs, deep-well & mud pump apps, it ensures 97% efficiency in high temps. As custom gearbox manufacturer, we tailor solutions for corrosion-resistant offshore drives, with fast customization & 24/7 support.

Product Overview
KAIBO's Oil Drilling Gearbox, API-certified and custom-engineered for oil & gas drilling applications (onshore rigs, offshore platforms, deep-well systems), solves high-load power transmission challenges in extreme environments. Constructed with 42CrMo4 precision gear grinding and heat-treated alloy steel housing, it ensures 97% efficient operation with ≤80dB noise levels, reducing energy consumption by 12% for top drive systems and enabling stable performance in 150°C high-temperature wells. As a custom industrial gearbox manufacturer, we tailor solutions to unique drilling requirements.
Core Advantages
- High-strength alloy steel housing: Resists corrosion, impact, and thermal expansion in harsh drilling conditions.
- Precision-cut spiral bevel gears: Heat-treated for smooth torque transmission and minimal wear.
- Integrated forced-cooling system: Maintains optimal oil temperature (≤75°C) during continuous heavy-duty operation.
- Custom drilling design: Supports high-torque loads for top drives, mud pumps, and rotary tables as a leading custom industrial gearbox manufacturer.
- Low vibration & noise: ≤80dB (loaded) via vibration-dampening mounts and gear optimization.
- Rigorous API testing: Ensures reliability in offshore saltwater, high-pressure, and extreme temperature environments.
- Low maintenance design: Reduces downtime with minimal upkeep
- Durable construction: Engineered for long service life in harsh conditions
Application Scenarios
- Onshore oil drilling rigs with top drive systems
- Offshore platforms requiring corrosion-resistant gearboxes
- Deep-well drilling (≥5,000m) with high-torque rotary drives
- Mobile drilling rigs for remote site operations
- Mud pump systems in horizontal directional drilling

FAQs
Q: How much does an oil drilling gearbox cost?
A: Prices vary based on input power, torque requirements, and customization. As a custom gearbox manufacturer, we provide tailored quotes within 24 hours—contact info@kaiboi.com for a detailed estimate.
Q: Can the gearbox be used in explosion-proof environments?
A: Yes—we offer explosion-proof (ATEX/IECEx certified) gearboxes for hazardous zones. Custom designs integrate flameproof housings and spark-resistant components for offshore and onshore explosive environments.
Q: How does your manufacturing team recommend maintaining gearboxes?
A: Replace oil every 1,000–1,500h (new units), then quarterly with ISO VG 460 EP. Our manufacturers advise monthly gear/bearing inspections and temperature/vibration monitoring.
