Dimensioning the gearbox
Overview
● Take into account the following influencing variables when configuring the gearbox:
– Accelerating torque
– Continuous torque
– Number of cycles
– Cycle type
– Permissible input speed
– Mounting position
– Torsional play
– Torsional stiffness
– Radial and axial forces
Note
For reversing operation for servo applications, worm gearboxes are only conditionally
suitable.
● Refer to the catalogs from the gearbox manufacturer for technical data.
● Suitable shaft and flange seals must be selected if gearbox oil is in contact with the motor
flange.
When engineering geared drive systems you can use the motor characteristic without
reduction. In so doing, take into account the permissible maximum torque and the
permissible input speed of the gearbox.
