Gearing Products Primer
Gearing products (components or housed gearboxes) are mechanical devices used to increase the output torque or change the speed (RPM) of a motor. They are also used for inertia matching between a load and a motor. The most common type of gearing product is a gearbox (or housed gearhead). Most gearboxes are constructed from steel … Continue reading Gearing Products Primer
