Single stage helical gearboxes are made with high specifications to meet the industrial standards. While designing the single stage helical gearboxes certain aspects were kept in mind which are as follows:
- What is the power transmitting capacity of the gearbox?
- Main external dimensions of the gearbox
- And most importantly its reduction ratio and center distance between the output and input shafts.
So, when helical gearboxes were designed they were kept in two different categories which were designated as:
- Type a for general standard helical gearboxes
- Type b for special standard helical gearboxes
Now, let’s quickly dive into the construction of these single shaft helical gearboxes.
