The term “gearbox” is used to refer to any device that connects a motor to a machine consisting of a series of gears (also known as a gear train).

The term “gearbox” is used to refer to any device that connects a motor to a machine consisting of a series of gears (also known as a gear train). It receives the main input speed from the motor and uses its gears to convert it to different output speeds. Different types of gears and combinations of gears can be used to fulfill specific purposes. The types of gears in a transmission include spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears, helical gears and worm gears. The performance efficiency of a gearbox is indicated by its gearbox ratio, which is the ratio of the input source speed to the output source speed.

A gearbox should have a high gearbox ratio where the input source speed is greater than the output source speed. However, not all gearboxes are speed reducers or gear reducers. There are other types of gearboxes that perform different functions. For example, another type of gearbox performs the opposite function of a speed reducer - it increases the speed generated by the motor and decreases the torque.
