We often encounter some industry terms when purchasing gearboxes, which may be interpreted as misunderstandings without understanding, which can have an impact on the selection of gearboxes. To understand the parameters of a gearbox, one must first learn these professional terms. Now let's learn about the professional terminology of a gearbox.
Horsepower HP, actually this is power, one yard equals 750W, two yards equals 1500... and so on
The reduction ratio I, also known as the speed ratio, is an important parameter of a gearbox. Its calculation method is: reduction ratio=input speed/output speed. The general standard reducers are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25:1:30, 1:35, 1:40... and so on. Some companies may also adjust and customize reducers according to customer needs.
Series P: This refers to the gear series of the reducer, divided into two stages, four stages, six stages, eight stages The more poles there are, the slower the speed, but the higher the torque. We commonly use a 4-stage reducer, which corresponds to a 4-stage motor.
Working life: The cumulative working time of a gearbox at rated load and rated input speed. Generally, high-quality gearboxes have a relatively long service life if they are not used improperly or in the wrong environment or under high loads
Rated torque: refers to the torque allowed for long-term operation within the rated lifespan. When the output speed is 100 revolutions per minute, the lifespan of the gearbox is the average lifespan. Beyond this value, the average lifespan of the gearbox will decrease. When the output torque exceeds twice, the gearbox malfunctions.
