Gearbox Design
Complete mechanical design of gearbox, including gear design and calculations, shaft design, bearing selection and life calculations, power transmission analysis, 3D CAD modeling in SolidWorks, and structural validation using ANSYS.
Project Description
A two-stage helical gearbox designed from scratch as part of mechanical engineering coursework, covering gear sizing, shaft design, and bearing selection.
Design Objective
Design a robust two-stage reduction system for industrial transmission applications.
Engineering Problem Statement
Balancing reduction ratio, torque capacity, and overall envelope while keeping the assembly serviceable and reliable.
Design Process
- 01Calculated gear ratios, module, and tooth geometry.
- 02Sized shafts, keys, and bearings against fatigue loads.
- 03Modeled the full assembly in SolidWorks.
- 04Produced detailed manufacturing drawings.
Software Used
CAD Images
Technical Drawings
Final Design Outcome
A fully documented gearbox design meeting all academic and engineering criteria.
