An industrial gearbox is a mechanical device that transmits power from a motor or engine to a driven machine by changing the speed, torque, or direction of rotation. Gearboxes are used in virtually every type of heavy industry — from steel plants and cement factories to sugar mills and paper plants.

The main types of industrial gearboxes are:

• Helical Gearboxes — used for smooth, high-efficiency power transmission at medium to high speeds
• Bevel Helical Gearboxes — used for right-angle drives with high torque capacity
• Worm Gearboxes — used for high reduction ratios in compact spaces
• Planetary Gearboxes — used for very high torque in a compact design
• Special Purpose Gearboxes — custom-designed for specific industrial applications
