Gearbox Functions

1. Speed ​​adjustment (acceleration and deceleration): commonly known as a variable-speed gearbox.
2. Changing the direction of transmission: for example, using two sector gears allows force to be transmitted perpendicularly to another rotating shaft.
3. Changing torque: at a constant power level, the faster a gear rotates, the lower the torque exerted on the shaft; conversely, slower rotation results in higher torque.
4. Clutch function: disengaging two previously meshed gears allows the engine to be disconnected from the load (e.g., in braking or clutch systems).
5. Power distribution: for instance, a single engine can drive multiple output shafts via the gearbox's main shaft, enabling one engine to power multiple loads.
