The Role of Reduction Gearboxes in Power Transmission Systems

Image
  Power transmission systems are of utmost importance for safe and efficient operations in the industrial and mechanical landscape today. Most of these consist of reduction gearboxes , but actually first, reducing the speed inputted power with an increase in the torque involved. While it may seem straightforward at first glance, efficacious functioning, safety, and optimum performance of machinery owe much to the role that reduction gearboxes play. What is a reduction gearbox? A reduction gearbox essentially means a mechanical device whose name already says it all, applied to the reduction in the speed of an input source, usually a motor, while increasing the torque output. It differs from others by using gears of varying sizes. Large gears will slow the rotation speed, whereas tiny gears will increase it. Pairing gears in a certain way allows the gearbox to change the way in which speed and torque go together. Reduction gearboxes are used in many machines, from manufacturing equip...

How Shrirang Enterprise's Explosion-Proof Motors Ensure Safety in Hazardous Industries

  An explosion-proof motor is developed to run safely in hazardous environments; it must contain any internal explosions and not allow sparks or heat to ignite surrounding flammable gases, vapors, or dust. What is an Explosion-Proof Motor? An explosion-proof motor is a special kind of electrical motor designed to be operated within hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust exist. Such motors are designed to withstand an internal explosion, which could be caused by sparks or heat from the motor from reaching the surrounding materials in the environment. In other words, an explosion-proof motor will guarantee that in case an explosion happens inside the motor, it won't spread and create another bigger explosion outside. These motors are usually designed for use in petrochemical plants, oil and gas refineries, mining, chemical processing plants, and grain silos among many other places where flammable or explosive atmospheres prevail. How Does an Explosion-Proof M...
