Gear Box: Fundamental, Operation & Maintenance

Gear always attracts classical engineers, because, gear revolutionized the human civilization. Gear is the most classic contribution of classical science. With gears motion can be controlled with infinite accuracy. Varied change of speed with utmost accuracy, varied change of direction with finer control is possible only with gears. Even converting rotating movement into linear motion and vice versa can be obtained by different gearing combinations.


The following presentation is made to give a basic concept about gears and gear boxes.

In common industrial practices, normally open gears are not used. In most of the cases, gears, either one set of gears or a series of gears in gear train, are operated in a casing, which is known as gear box.

This presentation may help engineering students and fresh engineers to get an overall idea of industrial gearbox. Also it can be helpful for practicing plant and operation engineers who want to refresh themselves about basics of gearbox.
