Gearbox Characteristics
Our gearboxes have been designed for optimum performance and for
maximum life under normal operating conditions.
Their main characteristic is the capacity to withstand maximum design
torque with continuous duty.
The range of gearboxes shown in this catalogue can operate with
maximum torque of 0.5 to 6 N.m for long time periods. All values
previously stated are for standard products in normal operating
conditions, as specified.
In certain cases, these values may be increased if a shorter life is
required.
Please consult our Sales Office for further information.
Every gearbox has a torque limit, which is
the breaking torque.
If this torque is applied to the gearbox, it will cause severe damage.
