In the present time, using
custom-designed shafts and gearboxes are gaining popularity. They can be made
as per specifications and designs. Even if this, the process of making the right
selection is not easy. It involves a lot of challenges.
It is important that the transmission gears and shafts that you select should be as per specifications. This is
important or else it may not function well. You may have to look into a number
of factors when getting it custom made.
Consider input power and
speed
The main function of a shaft
and gearbox is to provide the vehicle with top speed and performance. You also
have to consider the overall torque required at the output end. Each type has
to be custom made depending on the total number of hours you are going to use
the vehicle.
Consider the load factor
Gearbox and shaft selection
also has to be considered looking into the overall load factor. It is obvious
that you may have to consider transmission gears and shafts that can
accommodate multiple supports at the point of intersection. This offers with benefit where one of the
gears can be left overhung at any time.
Gear orientation factor
It is also important to
consider the orientation factor which refers to the type- right-angled or
vertical horizontal type. This factor is important to consider depending on the
shaft protruding factor.
Service
Service factor certainly is considered as one
of the most important factors for deciding the selection of right gears and
shafts. You may also have to consider the shock factor and vibration the
vehicle will be facing. In case you have selected grinding type then it is just the right option but you may have to service it very often.
Transmission gears and shafts that are of intermittent type certainly are ideal for
vehicles that do not need much servicing.
