Rj Link designed the D316 gearbox for a high-speed test stand application. This speed increaser will be driven by an electric motor, and was designed to sit vertically on a test stand with an input speed of 3600 RPM and an output speed of 7200 RPM.

Considerations for Rj Link’s Design Team:

• Excessive Heat generation
• Excessive Vibration/Pulsation
• Excessive Wear – If misalignment issue, it will come apart faster
• Loading Requirements – No load, Zero load, Partial or Full Load?

After the analysis, Rj Link’s engineering team designed a “no load” gearbox with components that are ground and hardened to handle the high speed. The gearbox has an integral lube system due to the high speed. This is a spray mist system that is available with a heat exchanger or cooler option. This very versatile light duty gearbox was designed for applications with tight package constraints, and would be ideal for automotive, industrial, or any other high-speed machinery applications.
