Standard Gearbox Selection — Engineering-Based Support
Selecting a standard gearbox is not about choosing a model number.It is about ensuring torque capacity,
load characteristics, mounting conditions,and service life match the real application environment.
Why Standard Selection Still Requires Engineering
Many gearbox failures are not caused by manufacturing defects, but by incorrect selection at the early stage.
- Torque calculated without considering duty cycle
- Ignoring shock loads or intermittent operation
- Incorrect mounting orientation affecting bearing life
- Oversized or undersized safety factors
- Space constraints forcing compromise installations
Our Role in Standard Gearbox Selection
Motions Drive supports standard gearbox selection as an engineering task, not a catalog exercise.
We assist customers in selecting suitable standard gearboxes based on application conditions, not just nominal power.
- Application load and torque evaluation
- Speed and ratio confirmation
- Duty cycle and service factor assessment
- Mounting and shaft configuration review
- Compatibility with motors and driven equipment
