What is the function of a gearbox

Gearbox is an important component widely used in mechanical transmission, consisting of two or more gears, including at least one driving gear with a certain diameter, a gear with a smaller gear connected to the driving mechanism (electric motor, wind turbine, diesel engine, etc.). Gearboxes are widely used, mainly for.

1.acceleration and deceleration: automobile speed gear box plays this role, through the meshing of gears to achieve.

2.change the transmission direction: gear box if the two sector gears, you can transfer the force perpendicular to the other axis of rotation, to change the transmission direction of the effect of

3.change the rotating torque: under the condition of the same power, the speed of the gears rotating the faster, the smaller the torque suffered by the shaft, so you can adjust the gear box gear running speed to change the torque. Therefore, you can change the rotating moment by adjusting the gear speed of the gear box.

4.clutch function: the clutch of the car is through the gear box to achieve the clutch function, by separating the two originally meshed gears can be achieved to separate the engine from the load.

5.Distribution of power: an engine needs to distribute power to different places, through the gear box spindle drives a number of slave shafts, so as to achieve an engine driven by a number of load functions.

What kinds of gear box

There are many types of gearboxes, according to different classification methods can be divided into different categories

1.according to the traditional type: can be divided into cylindrical gear box, planetary gear box and a variety of gear box combined with each other gear box

2.according to the number of transmission stages: can be divided into single-stage gear box and multi-stage gear box.

3.according to the rotation of the arrangement of the form: can be divided into the expansion of the gear box, shunt type gear box and the same axis gear box and hybrid gear box and so on.

What are the characteristics of the gear box

1.gear box transmission equipment are generally easy to wear, so the gear box needs to be made through a strict and special process, such as gears made of high-quality low-carbon alloy steel, not only high strength, but also the tooth surface is flat, high precision.

2.gear box in the design of the installation, disassembly problems, so with a light weight, small size, easy to disassemble, easy to install and so on.

3.in order to mechanical equipment operation is stable, reliable, so the gear box requires a certain stability, endurance, wear resistance.

4.gear box operation, transmission rate is high, and can minimise the noise generated by the operation.
