Sizing Gearbox for 7.5HP Motor w/1750rpm & 580rpm Input Speed

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 5936939, member: 447632"] The gearbox will need to handle 7.5 HP at 580 RPM. Check the duty cycle, lubrication and cooling of the gearbox. Yes, the slower the output shaft, the heavier it will need to be to handle the torque when transmitting 7.5 HP. But you know the input RPM and HP so you can base selection on input shaft torque. Belts will not slip if they are correctly fitted. If they do slip they will creep during normal operation and so will wear the belts. What section belt and how many will you need for the input torque? Use bigger V-belt pulleys to reduce belt tension or number of belts. Do you have a link to a list of worm boxes rated at 7.5 HP or more? What reduction ratio or output RPM is your target ? [/QUOTE]
