We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Gearboxes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lightweight vibration sensors monitor production from
Hansford Sensors, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hansford Sensors' HS-130 is suitable for use where space is limited or where the additional weight would alter the test characteristics".
The same day,
we featured the news release Legacy products replaced or upgraded from
Power Jacks: "Power Jacks can replace or upgrade a wide range of screw jacks, linear actuators and bevel gearboxes originally supplied with brand names other than its own".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Anstee Ware Group
concerning its Motor repair and certification
- take a look at Test rigs upgrade motor repair services
which says: "Permanent magnet motor repair and calibration service covers all manufacturers, makes and sizes, and includes the complete overhaul of motors, gearboxes and pumps".
Take a look also at the news release from Parvalux Electric Motors, DC motor powers up to 440W,
as well as Linear elements handle high loads from HepcoMotion,
and Small drives suit external motion control from Lenze.
