A typical parallel helical gearbox features a series of parallel shafts with helical gears mounted on them. These gears interlock to transmit torque and step down the input speed. The gears themselves are typically made from high-strength alloy steel, heat-treated to achieve the desired hardness and durability. The gearbox housing, often constructed from cast iron or steel, provides robust protection for the internal components and helps dissipate heat.
Precision machining is critical in the manufacturing process, ensuring that the gears mesh correctly with minimal backlash and maximum surface contact, thus optimizing efficiency and minimizing wear. The housing is also designed with precision to properly support the rotating elements. Lubrication is also critical for performance and longevity of the gearbox, and these systems include features like splash lubrication systems or pressure lubrication to ensure proper lubrication of the gears and bearings.
