Solutions for Defense.
Cone Drive’s precision motion control technology was born in the defense industry. The namesake and founder of Cone Drive, Samuel I. Cone, worked as a machinist and draftsman for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia. The first installation of his double-enveloping worm gear design was on the anchor engine of the Clemson class destroyer U.S.S. Case in May, 1923. After months of continuous success, this new gearing design became the standard for all destroyers in commission.
