Gearboxes, also known as gear drives, are the arrangement of their shafts or the way that they mount to the driven equipment. However, it is important to realize that shaft arrangement and mounting are two different characteristics of the drive.

Therefore, it is important to know both aspects to successfully determine the best gearbox for your application. The shaft arrangement on a gear drive is the location of the high-speed and low-speed shaft extensions relative to each other.

This is dictated by the position of the motor and driven equipment and is sometimes constrained by the physical space of the application. The orientation of high and low-speed shafts as they relate to the naming of the different types of gear drives may seem very simple, but there are reasons why you would choose one over the others when determining the best gearbox for your application.

The primary determinant for selecting the type of gearbox is space limitations in a system. Because the shafts are oriented differently, your driving equipment, or motor, will be in a different location depending on which type of gear drive is selected.

Before Selecting the Variator Consider Following:

Load Factors:

  • Uniform load: 1
  • Medium shock load: 1.5
  • Heavy shock load: 2

Service factors:

  • 8 Hours running – 1
  • 16 Hours running – 1.25
  • 24 Hours running – 1.5

Efficiencies of various driving elements used in drive system.

For frequent start/stop, reversal operation, and high moment of inertia load consult us

____________________________________________________________________

For Further Reduction Use At The Output Shaft Of The Variator:

  • Chain drive (positive)
  • Belt drive (slip occurs) For reduction up to 4:1
  • Suitable reduction gear boxes (worm/helical) by Elmrad

Heli Worm Gear Box Uses and Applications

We shall use fA to designate the application factor (Ca or Ka in AGMA standards and Ka in ISO standards) pr external overload factor deriving from the operating characteristics of the driving and driven engines are defined according to uniform operation. Operation with light shocks and operation with medium shocks: also three classes of driven machine are defined according to uniform loads, medium shock loads, or heavy shock loads. Consult Table 1 for a general explanation.
