Industrial gearboxes are one of the most widely used and main components in large and small industrial engines and machines. Industrial gearbox is actually a type of industrial machine that is responsible for transmitting engine power and regulating the speed and intensity of this power. Sometimes it changes the direction of the force. For example, the reciprocating force produced by the engine may be converted into rotational force by the gearbox. Based on this variety of performance, we see a variety of industrial gearboxes in the industry. In this way, the application of the industrial gearbox may be to increase the engine power, decrease or increase the engine speed and change the direction of the engine power, and according to this type of application, one of the types of industrial gearbox will be selected for different purposes.
⏬ Types of industrial gearboxes according to different categories ⏬
Industrial gearboxes are divided based on different criteria. The price of industrial gearbox in these categories may also be different. This means that the type of division of these gearboxes is also different. The most important divisions of industrial gearboxes are:
" by function type "
Reducing gearboxes
These types of gearboxes are usually placed between the driver and the driven (engine and moving object) and produce the required torque. The important thing is that reduction gearboxes, as their name suggests, reduce the speed of the engine and increase the output torque. In fact, the ratio of decreasing speed and increasing torque in them is reversed. That is, as the engine speed decreases, the amount of torque increases. Helical gearboxes, suspension gearboxes, crane wheel pinion gearboxes are types of reduction gearboxes.
انی Increased gearboxes
These types of gearboxes have the opposite function of reduction gearboxes and are used in large industries such as refinery industries where higher engine speed is needed. Some solar gearboxes are types of incremental gearboxes.
Coilbars
This type of gearbox consists of a hardened steel mandrel attached to a large cast bronze worm gear. This type of gearbox is used in lifting systems and elevators, conveyors, blowers, ventilators, diesel generators and small material transfer systems. These gearboxes are easier to install and due to higher depreciation, they are not used much in industries such as steel and cement. Helical gearboxes are made in base, flange and hollow shaft forms with cast iron or aluminum shell.
Helical 5 grabs
These types of gearboxes, which are also called direct and coaxial shafts, consist of a number of gears with a spiral structure. The gears transmit the engine power based on the helical structure by moving a point along the surface of the gears along the diagonal profiles along the transmission shaft. The use of this type of gearbox in various industries is very wide due to its smaller dimensions and good efficiency. Helical gearbox increases the output torque by reducing the speed of engine revolutions. Due to the design of the gear wheel of this type of gearbox (spiral and their soft and curved surface), the amount of noise produced by this type of gearbox is much less than other types. If a smooth gear was used instead of a spiral gear, the amount of noise produced by the gearbox would be many times higher. Halikal gearboxes in three categories Diagonal conical Inline is divided This type of gearbox is used for heavy applications such as mines, construction elevators, transportation and construction of tanks.
