Product Description:
An overdriven gearbox is a type of gearbox that is used to increase the output speed of a power transmission system. In an overdriven gearbox, the output shaft rotates faster than the input shaft, which can be useful in applications where high speeds are required.
Overdriven gearboxes are commonly used in automotive applications, where they are used to increase the top speed of a vehicle. They are also used in industrial applications where high-speed output is required, such as in machine tools and high-speed conveyors.
The design of an overdriven gearbox is similar to that of other types of gearboxes, with two or more gears that mesh together to transmit power and torque between the input and output shafts. However, in an overdriven gearbox, the gear ratio is such that the output shaft rotates faster than the input shaft.
One advantage of overdriven gearboxes is their ability to increase the speed of a power transmission system without requiring additional power. They are also relatively simple and reliable, with low maintenance requirements.
However, overdriven gearboxes may not be suitable for applications that require high torque or where a high degree of precision is required. They may also generate more heat and noise during operation than other types of gearboxes. Proper lubrication and maintenance are also required to ensure their longevity and reliability.
