Description

A gearbox is a mechanical device designed to transmit power from a motor or engine to an output device, adjusting speed and torque in the process. It consists of a series of gears that mesh together to either increase or decrease the rotational speed and torque of the output shaft. Gearboxes play a crucial role in many machines by allowing them to operate at optimal speeds and power levels.

Depending on the gear ratios, they can either amplify torque for heavy loads or increase speed for faster operations. Common types of gearboxes include helical, bevel, planetary, and worm gearboxes, each suited to different applications such as automobiles, industrial machinery, and robotics, where precise control of motion is essential.
