Transmissions and Gears

The superb mobility and agile maneuverability of the Merkava MBT and the improved M-60 tanks are achieved using Ashot's transmission, suspension, final drives and other automotive train parts.
 
Ashot designs and manufactures various drive train systems for the Merkava Mark 1, 2, 3 and 4 MBT including the final drive suspension system and main power transmission.

Ashot produces and upgrades advanced automatic main power transmissions for battle tanks.
Ashot Ashkelon offers an upgrade package for the Allison CD-850.

A new improvement kit upgrades the transmission to match 900-1000 HP engines. The new kit is aimed at improving the transmission’s reliability and maintainability, as well as extending its lifespan.

Ashot is a reliable source of gear based systems, such as final drives, Power Take Off (PTO) and clutch units, transfer cases, tooth couplings and other transmission and power distribution systems for tanks, armored personnel carriers, tracked vehicles and wheeled heavy trucks.

We specialize in all drive train and gear based systems for tanks, troop carriers and other military vehicles.
Ashot has build-to-print, build-to-spec and total design capabilities and offers gear-based systems, assemblies and components for existing products, new programs, and upgrade programs, including all stages of design, production and delivery.
