    Chapter 1: Getting Started IronHorse® Helical Gearbox Introduction Purpose of Helical Gearboxes Gearboxes, also known as enclosed gear drives or speed reducers, are mechanical drive components that can control a load at a reduced fixed ratio of the motor speed. The output torque is also increased by the same ratio, while the horsepower remains the same (less efficiency losses).

Lubricants HD are made of the highly refined base oils and special additives, including EP(extreme pressure) additives, anti-oxidation, anti-rust, anti-foamer, etc., with very good metal surface adhesion. These oils also contain sulfur-phosphorus EP additive to form tenacious oil film on metal surfaces that can endure high E.P.
  • Page 28 Chapter 3: Installation, Maintenance and Lubrication Storage If the helical gearbox won’t be used immediately and needs to be placed in storage for a period of time that exceeds six months, please pay attention to the special storage instructions outlined below. 1) If the gearbox is to be placed in long term storage, care should be taken by applying anti-corrosion inhibitors on all non-coated parts, including the input shaft, output shaft, flange, and foot mounts Units should be stored under a water proof cover and care should be taken to...
