An industrial gearbox is an enclosed system that transmits mechanical energy to an output device. Gearboxes can modify their speed, torque, and other attributes to convert the energy into a useable format. Gearboxes are used in a variety of devices, for a broad range of purposes.30 oct 2017
What is Gearbox and its types?
They are the connecting circles with teeth that rotate and meshes with another gear on the different shaft in order to transmit the circular motion between 2 different shafts, they can be –spur gear, helical gear, bevel gear and worm gear.

What is the main purpose of gearbox?
The purpose of a gearbox is to increase or reduce speed. As a result, torque output will be the inverse of the speed function. If the enclosed drive is a speed reducer (speed output is less than speed input), the torque output will increase; if the drive increases speed, the torque output will decrease.
What is the purpose of the gearbox in a WECS?
A gearbox is typically used in a wind turbine to increase rotational speed from a low-speed rotor to a higher speed electrical generator. A common ratio is about 90:1, with a rate 16.7 rpm input from the rotor to 1,500 rpm output for the generator.18 ene 2012
How do I choose the right gearbox?
- Speed and horsepower of the input.
- Desired output speed or desired output torque (will determine ratio)
- Characteristics of use; hours per day, nature of shock or vibration in the system.
- Degree of overhung load.
- Unit configuration, shaft input or hollow bore input, shaft output or hollow bore output.
