Foote-Jones Gearbox & Gear Drive Repair
Foote-Jones gear drives (originally Illinois Gear) are built for heavy, continuous industrial duty — and when one fails, a major line stops with it. Matrix Gear Repair rebuilds the full Foote-Jones range, including parallel-shaft, right-angle, and vertical reducers, to factory spec. Ship your unit in nationwide or schedule on-site field service.
