4 Module Ratio 1.558 Double Helical Gear Speed Up Gearbox Gear Reducers

1) Description of Gearbox Gear reducers

Gearboxes or also commonly called gear reducers or enclosed speed reducers are used on many

electromechanical drive systems

Gearboxes, are essentially multiple open gear sets contained in a housing. The housing supports

bearings and shafts, holds in lubricants, and protects the components from surrounding conditions.

2) Function of Gearbox Gear reducers

Gearboxes are available in a wide range of load capacities and speed ratios. The purpose of a gearbox

is to increase or reduce speed. As a result, torque output will be the inverse of the speed function.

3) Factors of Gearbox Gear reducers

Gear drive selection factors include: shaft orientation, speed ratio, design type, nature of load, gear rating,

environment, mounting position, operating temperature range, and lubrication. Helical gearboxes and worm

gearboxes are among the more common types for electromechanical drives.
