Tork Drive miniature bevel gearbox

Using our miniature bevel gearbox, Tork Drive has designed and built unique gearboxes that cannot be found anywhere else. Our standard miniature bevel gearbox are available in many styles including Worm and Wheel, Helical, Bevel, and Inline Spur. We have also built very small custom gearboxes for our customers and we offer that service to all our customers.

The links for our small gearboxes will also include the full range of frame sizes for that series of gearboxes.

Higher efficiencies of worm gear efficiency

worm gear efficiency - Comparing efficiencies of different gear types across various reduction ratios will help us to make right gearbox selection for our applications. Spur gearing is a parallel shaft arrangement, and these gears can achieve much higher efficiencies compared to other gear types. The worm gear motor is efficiency varies from 94% to 98% with lower gear ratios. Straight bevel gearing is similar to spur gearing with perpendicular shaft arrangement. Like spur gearing these gears also only can handle lower gear ratios with higher efficiencies (93% to 97%).  

Planetary gearbox efficiency

planetary gearbox efficiency , Power losses in gear systems are associated primarily with tooth friction and lubrication churning losses.    Churning losses are relatively independent of the nature of the gears and the gear ratios - planetary gear are primarily realated to the peripheral speed of the gears passing through the fluid.  Churning losses are difficult to calculate and estimates based on experience are often used in initial gear design.   The frictional losses are related to the gear design,the reduction ratio,the pressure angle, gear size, and the coefficient of friction.
