A gear box
is a hydraulic system meant for transmitting mechanical power from a
prime mover (an engine or electric motor) into some form of useful
output of lower RPM and higher torque. It is a set of gears for
channelizing power from one rotating shaft to another. Gear boxes are
widely used for many equipments & products, like machine tools,
automobiles, heavy cranes, earth-moving machinery, etc.
Their
size, geometry, loading condition and performance requirement, etc.
vary according to specific industry criteria. The manufacturing
industries are showing considerable growth; the automobile sector is
poised for a much higher rate of growth. It is, thus, felt that the
demand for gear boxes in these industries will increase rapidly in the
years to come.
