Gearbox for Small Package Gear Drives

Rj Link continues to see increased requests for small package Gear-Drives. These types of systems have involved the application/design of several Right-Angle, Variable-Angle, or Planetary systems. Starting with the driver/input side, providing a variable speed, torque and transferring to the output-side producing an increase/decrease in speed, torque.

Rj Link’s engineering team, with 75+ years of experience, is currently reviewing and designing several programs to meet multiple market constraints.

Some of the challenges facing the design team:

• Required small base used for mounting
• Fixed input/output interface connections
• Other clearance issues

The engineering team has been looking at the analysis & modeling, substituting alternate material, finishes & processes to reach the desired outcomes.
