# Can't find this speed reducer

What happens when you can't find a replacement for your speed reducer or it has been discontinued by the manufacturer? We hear this almost every day.

![Rexnord_Drive-8837.jpg](https://www.bhmachine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Rexnord_Drive-8837.jpg?width=685&height=514&name=Rexnord_Drive-8837.jpg)

In this instance, the Detroit based manufacturer had an old US inline gear drive. It had massive failure and needed all new gearing. The lead time was 6-8 weeks from the factory. We proposed several options. The customer chose to go with the Rexnord planetary gear reducer. We fabricated a custom motor mount and more importantly a custom drive base. The drive base matched the output shaft center and bolt holes of their old reducer; making installation simpler.

Some of the benefits of the new motor and reducer package:

- More horsepower capacity
- Delivery in days vs. weeks
- Improved efficiency - energy savings
