You may use a gear box to increase the output torque or change the speed (RPM) of a motor. The motor’s shaft is attached to one end of a gear box and it receives the output through the internal configuration of gears. Gear boxes are excellent tools, aiding the manufacturing machines in industries or agricultural equipment. These settings demand appliances with high load handling capacity, energy efficiency and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.

Electric motors are employed in nearly all commercial and industrial operations, and they account for a large chunk of Canada’s electricity usage. They drive compressors, fans, conveyors, elevators and more. Naturally, motor failures can have serious consequences, so it’s important to understand the common causes of such failures.
