A gearbox is a type of gear train that is used to change the speed and torque characteristics of a motor. When gearboxes drop speed, the torque (turning force) at the output increases. They reduce torque as they gain speed.

Speed reducers are a common word for gearboxes that reduce the speed of an electric motor while increasing torque. Because practically every gearbox application includes reducing speed and increasing torque, both terms are frequently used interchangeably. However, speed reducers are a subclass of gearboxes, and a gearbox can be used to enhance output speed at the expense of torque.

What to include in your RFQ โ†’

Documentation & RFQ readiness

BOLTON sources and supplies to specification. Documentation availability depends on the product, its manufacturer/supplier source and your stated requirement, and can be confirmed during quotation. To get an accurate quote quickly, include:

  • The exact manufacturer part number (MPN) and quantity required
  • Any drawing, specification or standard that applies, where relevant
  • Required documentation โ€” e.g. certificate of conformity, datasheet, test report, SDS/TDS, calibration certificate or traceability, where applicable
  • Delivery location and required-by date
