As part of the power transmission package, industrial gearboxes serve as a way to reduce speed and increase torque in a drive. Most commonly connected to an electric motor directly or through a coupling or v-belt drive, gearboxes are capable of large ratio reductions that are not easily possible with other means. In the United States, right angle worm gearboxes are popular as well as shaft mount reducers in the grain and aggregate industry. Increasing in popularity are the helical (in line), helical-worm and helical-bevel gearboxes which are more common in the rest of the world.
Gearboxes have often been complicated and exasperating to users. Many ratios, input varieties, and output shaft variations have made them virtually impossible to stock. Well, we have good news!
At Whisler Bearings & Drives, we have our own Gearbox Center. We assemble worm gear, helical (in line), helical-worm and helical-bevel gearboxes off our shelf. We stock all the components to assemble gearboxes from 1/4HP to 20HP. We can cover ratios from 3:1 to 3600:1 off the shelf. Our gearboxes are interchangeable with other major manufacturers so they are a drop in replacement.
