AI Thread Summary
To increase speed in a wind turbine application, a helical gearbox with a 1:15 ratio is suggested to boost output from 100 RPM to 1500 RPM. Worm gearboxes are not suitable for speed increase, as they primarily reduce speed. The choice of gearbox depends on the specific application and desired outcomes. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of matching the gearbox with the generator's optimal rotational speed. Selecting the right gearbox type is crucial for achieving efficient performance in wind turbine systems.

hello

i want buy gearbox for increase the speed
i know that worm gearbox cannot use for increase the speed..just for reduce speed

what is the type of gearbox can i use for increasing the speed

there is gearbox types
- Bevel Gearbox
- Helical Gearbox
- Planetary Gearbox
- Sequential Gearbox
- Spiral Bevel Gearbox
- Worm Reduction Gearbox

please help me

Please, please please edit your post and make the text a sensible size.

Also it completely depends on application, what are you trying to achieve with this new gearbox?
 
hi xxChrisxx
i will made wind turbine and i will get about 100 rpm with high torque
i want buy gearbox 1:15 and use it to increase the speed from 100rpm to 1500 rpm.. so i will connect the Output shaft to wind turbine and Input shaft with the alternator

i want buy Series Helical gearbox

what do you think?

what do you think?

what kind of generator are you using? and what is the optimum rotational speed that it operates at

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
