In this article, we intend to introduce the types of industrial gearboxes along with their advantages and disadvantages, so that you can buy an industrial gearbox with sufficient knowledge. First, we start with the definition of the gearbox.

What is an industrial gearbox?
A gearbox is a device consisting of a number of gears that has two functions. First, power transmission from the power source to the power consumer, second, the change in rotational speed and torque; Also, gearboxes are generally divided into two categories: increasing and decreasing the rotation.

Reduction gearboxes are more widely used than increase gearboxes.

They are a part of industrial and semi-industrial machines and devices that are used to reduce or increase the output speed and torque. The motor shaft is connected to a part of the gearbox and the torque and output speed are obtained based on the conversion ratio of the gearbox.

Different types of gearboxes with different and unique features are used in different industries such as agriculture, construction, mining, and parts of electrical appliances.
