Gearbox design Definition and 13 Threads

Would this work? To explain simply, shaft 1 has three different sized gears on it drawn red. Also red but on shaft 2 exists another set of gears. But they are not connected to shaft 2, they spin freely and independent from each other. They are connected to the gears on shaft 1. There by we...

From what I've gather the primary benefits to worm wheels are: - their ability to provide high reduction ratios - self-locking which can be useful for hoisting and lifting applications. - Operates silently and smoothly, which reduces vibrations Feel free to add any important ones I might've...

Hello I am trying to achieve 3500 rpm from 60rpm. The gear ratio I have worked out is 58:1. To minimize the size I have divided into 4 levels with the gear ratio of 2:1, 3.1, 3.1, 3,1, which rounds me up to 54:1 ratio is also ideal for me can anyone please help mw find the appropriate solution...

Simple questions are sometimes difficult to ask. I am a mechanical design engineer of automotive gearboxes with a UG qualification and 12 years of experience. My core expertise is into gears and special interest in NVH. In the recent years I see the automotive OEMs cutting down research cost of...

I am trying to understand the construction of CVT Metal belts that are made up of steel elements and some rings. I do not understand the full construction details of the belt. The most detailed information I have got ever is in this PDF on page 5...

Hello, i am a junior mechanical engineering student and i was given the task of designing (on paper) a gearbox. I chose to design a worm gear single speed reduction gearbox. I know the basics of what composes it which are the worm, worm gear, input and output shaft bearings and the housing the...

Hi everyone! Just joined the fórum after a lot of hours searching the web and Reading some books...I have one question, didn't found na answer to it...but let's give it a try ;) How can you determine the optimal circular pitch and in consequence the optimal diametral pitch of a gear (increasing...

hi i am designing a gear box and i need help on calculating my motors requirements. i have a motor with rotating a gear which is connected to shaft using a gear attached to the shaft. on the top of the shaft a cylinder base is screwed weight X kg. could you please help me thank you

Hi, I am looking to design a gearbox that outputs 200Nm from an input of 0.25-0.3Nm. My question is which gear train method would be more efficient. Also any design guidelines if there are any. The gear box is to be rotated at the input by a users own strength

Hi engineers and future engineers! I have a project given by my lecturer which is to design just the gearbox in a wind turbine. The goal of this project is to design a prototype conceptual gearbox that will power a generator on a wind turbine. The blades are about 25ft in diameter and are held...

I suspect I already know the answer to this question but I want to ask in case anyone has any ideas on how to improve things. What I am looking for is a gearbox design that will increase both torque and speed at its output. I don't think this is possible as I believe one is traded off...

I'm involved in a project that requires we lower an 8000 lb unit through a 25' vertical drop with extreme precision and fixed speeds. We want to build a gearing unit that will transfer that weight into bleed off energy via a high winding gearbox. It is extremely important that our load be...

Hello Thanks for you help, I have to design a gearbox which will be connected to an electrical motor with a 11 Kw, 960 rpm, 42 mm shaft diameter, I want the gearbox to rotate a sprocket with a diameter of 337 mm in a speed of 40 rpm, I don't know how the gearbox is to be designed for the...
