The optional gearbox provides as much as 1,100 foot-pounds of torque to drill deeper and handle large diameter augers more efficiently than the standard setup. Little Beaver introduces a planetary ...

3D-printed gearboxes are always an interesting design challenge, especially if you want to make them compact. [ZeroBacklash] created a little strain wave gearbox (harmonic drive) for when you want to ...

Gearboxes let engineers adjust servomotors’ operating speed and resulting torque. But understanding the two major types will lead to lower costs and better performance. Engineers have long used ...

In the late-1980s, Pratt & Whitney had a flash of inspiration. Reduction gears for gas turbines already existed, but the only reliable gearboxes for airliner-sized engines were the size of houses. If ...

With the many industrial gearboxes available today, it’s important to match the proper type of gearbox with the drive, motor, and load. When a machine needs a servosystem (drive and motor), the ...
