IronHorse® Helical Gearbox Introduction
Purpose of Helical Gearboxes
Gearboxes, also known as enclosed gear drives or speed reducers, are mechanical drive
components that can control a load at a reduced fixed ratio of the motor speed. The output
torque is also increased by the same ratio, while the horsepower remains the same (less
efficiency losses). For example, a 10:1 ratio gearbox outputs approximately the same motor
output horsepower, but motor speed is divided by 10, and motor torque is multiplied by 10.
Helical gearboxes use helical gears to provide quiet startup and smooth operation. IronHorse
helical gearboxes are manufactured in an ISO9001 certified plant by one of the leading and most
internationally acclaimed gearbox manufacturers in the world today. Only the highest quality
materials are tested, certified, and used in the manufacturing process. Strict adherence to and
compliance with the toughest international and U.S. testing standards and manufacturing
procedures assure you the highest quality products. We offer straight-through helical gearboxes
with cast-iron frames. The output shaft is parallel to the input. Our gearboxes utilize C-face and
TC-face mounting interfaces for C-face and TC-face motors.
