Gear Box System Explained

When we talk about gear box system we refer to the different gears whose function is to transmit power from one part of a machine to another. The gear box system is specifically designed to decrease or increase the motor's torque, speed and direction.

A different gear box system consists of different number of gears connected and operating together. The gears are used for a range of mechanical devices and applications and come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Their basic function is to provide gear reduction in different types of motors. They are designed to increase the output torque or in other words change the speed of the motor in motorized equipment.



The physical features of the gear box system are different and vary from one model of gearbox to another. Different models are constructed differently and have different features. Most models are manufactured form steel materials like aluminium, iron or brass. However some gearboxes can be made form other materials as well, like plastic for example. There are many types of gearboxes available on the market that differ in size, efficiency and quality.
