A gearbox, invented to modify the speed and torque value of a motor, simultaneously increases the torque at the output end when reducing speed. Vice versa, when it increases speed, it reduces torque.
Understanding the basic differences between gear designs, the fundamentals, and how to match gearboxes with your project demands are 3 crucial dimensions in choosing the right gearbox for your electric motor.
Two main types of gearboxes are in-line gearboxes and right-angled gearboxes, each employing specific types of gear.
In-line gearboxes can have the output shaft either coaxial (aligned) with the motor shaft or offset by a small distance, depending on the design of the gear train. Gears such as spur gears, helical gears, herringbone gears, and planetary gears are commonly used in in-line gearboxes to transmit the RPM of the motor to an output shaft parallel to the motor shaft.
In contrast, right-angle gearboxes transfer the RPM of a motor to an output shaft at right angles (90 degrees) from the motor shaft axis. Gears like bevel gears and worm gears are typically installed in right-angle gearboxes.
To shoulder every possible task in lifting and driving mechanisms, Weihua imported NILES gear grinding machines, AICHELIN heat treatment systems, MAZAK machining center, and many big-name production equipments, resulting in a series of gearboxes with high precision, low energy consumption, low noise, and long lifespan.
Weihua crane parts can be applied to various industries such as industrial cranes, construction machinery, mining, metallurgy, chemical industry, aerospace, military and marine. These parts play a key role in lifting operations and can provide strong functions and reliability in various environments.
Weihua Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. was founded in 1988. It is a large-scale equipment manufacturing enterprise mainly engaged in the development of bridge and gantry cranes, port machinery, electric hoists, reducers, bulk material conveying equipment, crane parts and other products.
Weihua has won more than 500 honorary titles such as "National Technology Innovation Demonstration Enterprise", "National Torch Program Key High-tech Enterprise", "National Certified Enterprise Technology Center", "National Quality Benchmark", "National Green Factory", and "National Industrial Design Center".
