Picking a gear producer is a significant choice. Depending on the size and scope of your job, you could be
Paying thousands of dollars for custom materials, yet regardless, you need to make sure the job is done
Well. One little slip in precision, or one improper procedure could lessen the quality of your entire
Project. You need to make sure your gear manufacturer of choice is reputable, capable, and reliable, but
Do you know what questions to ask to investigate these qualities?
When searching for a gear manufacturer for your job, make sure you ask these five questions:
• What’s the input speed and horsepower?
• What’s the gearbox target output speed or output torque?
• What are the characteristics of use? How many hours per day will the gearbox run? Will it need to?
Withstand shock and vibration?
• How overhung is the load? Is there an internal overhung load?
• Does the machine need a shaft or hollow-bore input, or a shaft or hollow-bore output?
• How will the gearing be oriented? For instance, if specifying a right-angle worm gearbox, does the
Machine need the worm over or under the wheel? Will the shafts protrude from the machine?
Horizontally or vertically?
• Does the environment necessitate corrosion-resistant paints or stainless-steel housing and shafts?
• What client references can you provide?
This guarantees you get the correct data and that the gearing mounts appropriately and performs to
Specifications.
