Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes

Industrial gearboxes are widely used in wind turbines, and they are often used as important mechanical components. The main function of industrial gearbox is to transmit the power generated by the wind turbine under the action of wind force to the generator and obtain the corresponding speed.

1. Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes - Lubrication Method

The commonly used lubrication methods for gearboxes include gear oil lubrication, semi fluid grease lubrication, and solid lubricant lubrication. For those with good sealing, high rotational speed, high load, and good sealing performance, gear oil lubrication can be used; For those with poor sealing performance and low rotational speed, semi fluid lubricating grease can be used for lubrication; Molybdenum disulfide ultrafine powder can be used for lubrication in oil prohibited or high-temperature situations.

2. Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes - Acceleration and Deceleration

Acceleration and deceleration, commonly known as variable speed gearbox

3. Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes - Changing the Transmission Direction

For example, we can use two sector gears to transmit force vertically to the other axis of rotation

4. Characteristics of industrial gearbox - changing rotational torque

Under the same power conditions, the faster the gear rotates, the smaller the torque on the shaft, and vice versa, the greater the torque

5. Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes - Clutch Function

We can achieve the goal of separating the engine from the load by separating the two originally meshing gears, such as the brake clutch, etc

6. Characteristics of Industrial Gearboxes - Power Distribution

For example, we can use an engine to drive multiple slave shafts through the gearbox spindle, thereby achieving the function of one engine driving multiple loads
