Gearbox Selection
Drive-All Multi-Speed Gearboxes are “Made in America” and are built to last. They are a mechanical device and do have a life expectancy. This life expectancy is most impacted by poor general maintenance, excessive overhung load (sideways pressure on input or output shaft), and overloading the gearbox. This section of the web-site is designed to help you choose the best gearbox for the intended application. After completing the steps below if you are not confident in your selection either visit our website www.driveallmfg.com or contact one of our Sales Representatives at: 800-689-3400.
Step One: Driver
What is the horsepower of the application driver?
- Listed on data plate of the driver
Step Two: Driver Service Factor
What type of driver are you operating?
- Choose from the drop down menu for type of driver.
Step Three: Load Service Factor
What type of load is being driven and how many hours does it operate daily?
- Choose from the drop down menu for the type of load. (This is a rather long list so please review list for best fit)
Step Four: Hours of Operation
- Choose from the drop down menu the daily hours of operation.
Step Five: Choosing a Drive-All Gearbox
Which gearbox fits my application?
- Hit the Calculate Button and the Catalog Horsepower to fit your application will be provided.
- Review the Upright Profile, Low Profile, and High Torque sections to match the calculated catalog horsepower to the correct unit.
Overhung Load = this condition is created when perpendicular pressure/tension is applied to the input/output shaft of the gearbox. Excessive Overhung Load will reduce the Design capabilities of the gearbox and can severely shorten its life expectancy.
