Gearbox Design Considerations

Considerations when looking at gearbox package constraints:

• Horsepower
• Torque
• Type of loading characteristics
• Ambient conditions
• Speed range in terms of input and output – is it continuous?
• Size/space limitations
• Cost
• Service in the unit – is there easy access?
• How is the gearbox going to be interfaced – Matching the design to fit the customer’s current frame.
• Rebuild package – Look at current design versus retrofit

Rj Link International’s team of engineers offers multiple solutions to fit the customer’s input and output interfaces. Those solutions provide customers with innovative and flexible design approaches, including interfacing lube systems, heat exchanger & clutches into gearbox systems.
