Spiroid

Spiroid is a brand of spiral-bevel gear reducers manufactured by Eaton Corporation. These gearboxes are known for their high efficiency and compact design, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The unique internal geometry of spiroid gears allows for a greater contact ratio between gear teeth compared to traditional gears, which translates to smoother operation, higher load-carrying capacity, and reduced wear.

The design of spiroid gears involves a worm-like pinion meshing with a ring gear. This configuration allows for a significant gear reduction ratio within a relatively small package. Eaton's spiroid gear reducers are often employed in applications requiring precise control and high torque, such as material handling systems, mixers, conveyors, and automated machinery. They are designed to operate reliably in demanding environments and are available in various configurations to meet specific application requirements. The manufacturing process and precise alignment of spiroid gears are critical to achieving their optimal performance and longevity.
