Industrial gearboxes are one of the most important components of many industrial machines and equipment that are responsible for transmitting power and torque as well as reducing or increasing the speed of the electric motor to the required level. To get familiar with the mechanism of industrial gearbox, we must first get acquainted with its components. In this article, we will examine the differences between the components of gearboxes and compare the components of different gearboxes with each other.
The components of the industrial gearbox
As we said, the components of an industrial gearbox include gears, bearings, shafts, sealing, lubrication system and shell. protects against pressure and pollution; All the internal components of the gearbox are mounted on the shell, and maintaining the proper alignment of the internal components of the gearbox is directly related to the shell.
Gearbox shaft
Industrial gearboxes usually have two or more are shafts; The input shaft receives power from the main drive (such as an electric motor) and the output shaft delivers power to another drive part (such as a conveyor belt, pump, etc.). The gearbox may also have intermediate shafts to transfer power between different stages (classes) of gears. The shaft of gearboxes can be hollow shaft (hollow) or solid shaft (male).
Gears
Gears are the most important and necessary components of an industrial gearbox; Gears are divided into simple gear, helical gear, conical gear, etc. based on the type of teeth placed on them. gearboxes are used; These parts reduce friction and ensure the proper rotation of the shaft. Gearbox sealing Mechanical seal to prevent lubricant leakage and contaminants from entering. Gearbox is used. Seals are usually made of plastic and insulating materials and are placed at the junction of the shaft and gear of the gearbox. Also, points such as the air valve and the oil drain cap also use special gaskets for sealing.
Lubrication system
Industrial gearboxes to reduce friction, dissipate heat and prevent rotting and wear. They need proper lubrication. Lubricants such as gear oil or grease must circulate well inside the gearbox.
Gearbox Accessories
Depending on the application and specific requirements of the application, industrial gearboxes can include accessories such as output flange, shrink disc, backstop , torque arm, thermal and vibration sensors, etc.; These appliances help in proper maintenance and prevention of possible problems.
Coil gearbox components
The components of the helical gearbox are:
🔶🔸shell
🔶🔸Mardon
🔶🔸Spiral gear
🔶🔸Bearings
🔶🔸Felt bowls
🔶🔸Air valve , oil inspection valve and oil drain screw
🔶🔸Flange (if any)
