They adapt the power of drive units — typically electric motors — to the specific requirements of work processes. Depending on their application, industrial gearboxes differ in design, transmission Transmission The function of a vehicle transmission is to adjust the torque and speed, and to transfer engine power to the drive wheels. ratio, power range, and load capacity. Typical designs include spur, bevel, planetary, and worm gearboxes. They are used in conveyor technology, steel and cement works, extruders, paper machines, wind turbines, test benches, and maritime drives, among other applications. Industrial gearboxes must often withstand high loads while remaining highly reliable and efficient.
