Dodge TXT and Tigear Gear Reducers: Types and Availability in Mexico
Dodge is a global pioneer in shaft-mounted reducers. This is its TXT and Tigear product line, and its availability through BIOSA.
TXT Series (Shaft-Mounted)
The Dodge TXT series, now part of RBC Bearings, is a worm gear reducer mounted directly onto the driven equipment shaft and secured with a torque arm. Dodge pioneered the shaft-mounted reducer concept in 1949 and remains an industry reference, featuring a patented double-tapered bushing system that simplifies installation and removal without the need for heating or forcing components.
Tigear Series (Flanged Worm Gear Reducer)
The Dodge Tigear series is a flanged-mounted worm gear reducer designed for applications requiring a fixed and precise reducer position, complementing the TXT series for projects that do not use direct shaft mounting.
Why BIOSA Works with Dodge in These Two Product Lines
In material handling and conveyor belt applications, the TXT series is the industry de facto standard due to its ease of installation and field maintenance. The Tigear series complements the portfolio when a project requires a flanged reducer instead of a shaft-mounted configuration, both backed by Dodge engineering expertise.
