FAQ

There are three different types of gearboxes: concentric, parallel, and right angle. A fourth type called shaft mount is also used in situations where the applications are in a configuration where they cannot be mounted by foot.

Choosing the right gearbox involves considering various factors:
1. Assess application requirements.
2. Research gearbox types.
3. Consider size, efficiency, and precision
4. Select suitable gearbox type.

Its recommended to inspect the sprockets and chain regularly and Replace if significant wear or damage is observed.

To select the size of a sprocket, consider the following steps:
1. Determine desired output speed.
2. Calculate required gear ratio.
3. Determine pitch diameter.
4. Consider practical limitations.
5. Assess durability and strength.

1. Check for teeth wear.
2. Compare teeth profile.
3. Note noise and vibration.
4. Perform visual inspection.

Key Steel is made from 1045 Mild Steel and is Zinc Plated.

There is square and rectangular key steel all categorised also by measurement metric and imperial key steel.

Some of the applications of key steel includes the following:
1. Keyways and couplings.
2. Gears and sprockets.
3. Machine tools.
4. Rotating machinery.
5. Automotive applications.
6. Industrial equipment.

Various types of couplings are used to connect two shafts or components for transmitting torque and motion. Some common types of couplings in manufacturing include:
1. Flexible couplings for misalignment and vibration reduction.
2. Rigid couplings for precise alignment.
3. Gear couplings for heavy-duty torque transmission.
4. Disc couplings for angular and axial misalignment.
5. Fluid couplings for smooth torque transfer and shock load protection.

A gearbox coupling, is a device used to connect the input and output shafts of a gearbox to the corresponding driven and driving components in a mechanical system. It provides a mechanical connection that allows for the transmission of torque and motion between the gearbox and the connected components.
