Schaeffler helps gearbox manufacturers simplify designs
Gearbox manufacturers provide modular product portfolios by offering different numbers of gear teeth, gear stages that allow flexible combinations, and by varying the number of planetary gears. The speeds and loads on gearbox components such as gear teeth, shafts and bearings vary according to the application. Depending on the gearbox configuration and the associated requirements in terms of rigidity and load-carrying capacity, bearings with different dimensions must then be located in a single bearing position, which requires a wide variety of housings, housing covers, gears and shafts.
