What Is A Gearbox?

Gearboxes are an important mechanical component that is widely used in wind turbines. Its main function is to transmit the power generated by the wind wheel under the influence of wind to the generator and get the corresponding speed.

Usually the speed of the wind wheel is very low, far from the speed required by generator power generation, must be achieved through the growth of the gear box co-growth effect, so the gearbox is also called the growth box.

The gearbox must have enough rigidity to withstand the force and the reaction force produced by the gear transmission, to prevent deformation and ensure transmission quality. The design of the gearbox body should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the layout arrangement, processing and assembly conditions, easy inspection and maintenance of the power transmission of the wind turbine. Nine positive hardware network small editor feel that with the rapid development of the gearbox industry, more and more industries and different enterprises have used gearboxes, there are more and more enterprises in the gearbox industry to grow and develop.

According to the modular design principle of the unit structure, the gearbox greatly reduces the type of components and is suitable for large-scale production and flexible selection. The propeller screw cone gear and oblique gear are all quenched with high-quality alloy steel carburizing, with a face hardness of up to 60 x 2HRC and a tooth surface grinding precision of up to 5-6 levels.

Transmission bearings are selected domestic well-known brand bearings or imported bearings, seals select ediligible oil seals, suction speaker body structure, large box surface area and large fan, so that the temperature of the whole machine, noise reduction, the reliability of operation is improved, transmission power increased. Parallel shaft, straight intersection shaft, vertical, horizontal universal box, input mode has motor joint flange, shaft input, output shaft can be right angle or horizontal output, with solid and hollow shaft, flange disc output shaft. Make the gearbox to meet the installation requirements of small space, can also be supplied according to customer needs. Its volume is 1/2 smaller than the soft tooth gearbox, the weight is reduced by half, the service life is increased by 3 to 4 times, and the carrying capacity is increased by 8 to 10 times. Widely used in printing and packaging machinery, three-dimensional garage equipment, environmental protection machinery, conveyor equipment, chemical equipment, metallurgical mining equipment, steel and electric power equipment, mixing equipment, road construction machinery, sugar industry, wind power, escalator elevator drive, marine field, light industry, paper industry, metallurgical industry, sewage treatment, building materials industry, crane, conveyor, assembly line and other high power, high speed ratio, high torque occasions. With good cost-effective, conducive to domestic equipment support.
