A gearbox is a machine element and usually consists
of gear systems used to change speed and torque between two rotating parts. The gearbox
acts as a mechanism that takes the high speed motion from the input shaft and transmits
it to the output shaft at a lower speed but with high torque. In this way, the correct
value of speed and torque required by a machine is achieved.
Gearboxes are widely used in industrial machinery, automotive industry, construction
machinery, robotic systems and many other fields.
Advantages of Use
- High Torque: Gearboxes transmit input motion
at low speed but with high torque, enabling handling or processing of heavy loads.
- Efficiency: Different types of gearboxes can
increase efficiency and reduce energy loss in the system.
- Better Control: Reducing the output speed
allows more precise control of the system.
