Generally, they can be classified into two types: those that transmit energy between parallel parts and those that transfer power between non-parallel parts, typically introduced as cross-axis gears.īased on the application requirements, there are different modifications of a Helical Gearbox. Like any other gear drive, these units are primarily used to reduce speed and increase torque between turning shafts. The obvious distinguishing factor of a helical gearmotor is that it comes standard as a gear drive and electric motor combination in a single unit.

Superior Gearbox Company offers a rugged parallel gear reducer that comes standard in a 6.09:1 ratio and features a two-piece housing, exact gear mesh, and is offered in either single or double hydraulic motor inputs. The high and low speed shafts parallel gearboxes are positioned on the same horizontal plane and feature spur gearing. These units are offered in ratios ranging from 5:1 up to 100:1 and can be configured with either a solid shaft or hydraulic motor input, in addition to, hollow or solid output shafts in both left- and right-hand or double output shaft options are available. Superior Gearbox Company offers a comprehensive selection of worm gear drives well suited for a wide array of applications. Worm speed reducers can be used with electric motors or driven by an input shaft to reduce the output speed, increase torque, change the driving direction, or to run two loads from a single power source. Worm gear speed reducers are capable of higher ratios in smaller packages compared to bevels and parallel shafts which require several reductions and take up more space. This results in a greater torque value as the gearbox reduces the speed of the transmission system. Worm Gear Speed Reducers consist of a worm input and an output worm gear that facilitate a perpendicular shaft.
REVERSE AG RATIO SERIES
For grain cart applications, we recommend the H130 series 50° bevel gearbox.
REVERSE AG RATIO PORTABLE
Superior Gearbox offers a 68° bevel gear drive designed and developed for portable grain auger and elevator applications however, these units are also ideal for applications such as mowers, conveyers, and seeders as well. Although bevel gearboxes are typically configured at a 90° angle, they can be configured at a variety of angles. Right-angle bevel gear drives can be employed in various agricultural machinery applications and have a wide range of horsepower capacities, ratios, and shaft configurations. Types of Agricultural Gearboxesĭepending on application requirements, Superior Gearbox Company offers several gearboxes for agricultural applications: Bevel Gearboxesīevel gearboxes contain enclosed spiral or straight bevel gears that have a conical form and are used to transmit rotational power through shafts that are typically at a 90° angle. Superior Gearbox can modify any standard configurations to tailor each unit to your specific application. Once a suitable gearbox has been identified, additional factors are then considered to ensure the selection of the appropriate subtype, configuration, and size. The below table illustrates the main distinguishing differences of each type of gearbox Superior has to offer.

However, this process begins with identifying the type of gearbox that best fits your application. There are several factors to consider when selecting your gearbox including shaft orientation, speed ratio, design type, the nature of the load, mounting position, and the environment of the application itself. Which Superior Gearbox is Best for Your Application? Other agricultural implements and equipment.

Some common applications for gearboxes in this industry include: At the same time, they can meet various safety and hygiene requirements. These applications rely on gearboxes to hold up to the many harsh environmental conditions, including inclement weather, continuous operation, and dry environments. These gearboxes consist of shafts and gears enclosed in a housing, transmitting power from an input shaft to one or more output shafts in order to facilitate a change in the direction, speed, and/or rotation between the input and output shaft.Īgricultural gearboxes are suitable for a broad range of applications that maintain efficient farming operations. If a standard or existing design does not suit your application, Superior’s engineering team can reverse engineer an existing design or assist you in designing a custom gearbox.Īgricultural gearboxes optimize machine performance for farmers, enabling them to maximize productivity. Superior Gearbox Company is a leading manufacturer of high-performance gearboxes to support a range of agricultural applications.
