Engines
Depending on your requirements and preferences, Amarillo wind machines are available with multiple horsepower outputs in propane or diesel.

Our Gearboxes
Central to the reliability of any wind machine is the gearbox — this is where Amarillo has the advantage.
Drawing on over 75 years of industry-leading gearbox engineering and design experience from Amarillo Gear Company, we have developed upper and lower gearboxes that have come to symbolize durability in the wind machine industry worldwide.
Here’s why
- Our spiral bevel gears are precision machined from nickel alloy steel, case hardened, and lapped as a matched set.
- All gear tolerances are permanently set during assembly through custom lathe cutting, thereby eliminating problematic shim packs that lead to gearbox failure.
- Amarillo uses top-quality Timken brand tapered roller bearings.
- All shafts are manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel.
- Double-lip, spring-loaded seals are used on the input and output shafts of both gearboxes.
- Our upper gearbox has an AGMA mechanical rating of 226hp, and the lower has an AGMA mechanical rating of 193 hp.
- Interchangeable by design, Amarillo gearboxes can be used to upgrade most other brands of wind machines
