Each industrial gearbox must be selected according to its real application. Torque, output speed, reduction ratio, gear type, mounting configuration, operating environment, load and available space can all influence equipment performance and service life.
A worm gearbox reduces speed, optimizes available space and provides the torque required for the proper operation of industrial and commercial equipment. It is commonly found on conveyors, lifting systems, material handling equipment, packaging machines and other equipment requiring controlled motion.
Worm gearboxes offer a compact format, stable transmission and good adaptability for applications where space or mechanical configuration creates constraints.

Helical gearboxes provide durable, stable and efficient power transmission. They are commonly found in conveyors, pumps, agitators, production machines, processing equipment and industrial systems that operate for long periods.

A planetary gearbox uses a central gear, planet gears and a ring gear to transmit power in a compact format. This design provides high torque, strong precision and stable transmission, even in a restricted space.
Planetary gearboxes meet the needs of robotics, automation, precision machinery, mobile equipment, positioning systems and certain specialized industrial machines.

Cycloidal gearboxes modify speed and torque using a cycloidal mechanism capable of absorbing impact loads and demanding working conditions. Their design promotes stable motion, high precision and long service life.
This type of gearbox is especially well suited to automated systems, industrial robots, packaging machines, conveyors, production equipment and other applications where shocks, frequent stops or variable loads can accelerate the wear of a standard gearbox.

Bevel gearboxes and right-angle gearboxes transmit power between two intersecting axes, often at 90 degrees. This configuration adapts the mechanical drive when space is limited or when the motor cannot be aligned directly with the equipment.
Bevel and right-angle gearboxes are commonly found in conveyors, material handling systems, agricultural machinery, lifting equipment and industrial installations where the mechanical configuration requires a reliable and efficient change of direction.

A high-power gearbox is specifically designed to transmit significant torque in intense and sustained working conditions.
High-power gearboxes support heavy-duty applications that require high torque, strong reliability and high mechanical resistance. They are used in demanding industrial equipment such as heavy conveyors, industrial presses, crushers, processing equipment, mining systems, port facilities and high-capacity production machines.

Gearmotors combine an electric motor and a gearbox in a single assembly. They provide adapted speed and higher torque to operate industrial, commercial or institutional equipment efficiently.
Gearmotors are commonly found in material handling equipment, industrial machinery, power transmission applications and automated systems. They are especially useful when equipment requires reduced speed, higher torque or better controlled motion.

As an industrial gearbox specialist, Moteurs Gosselin analyzes your needs, verifies the mechanical specifications and recommends the best solution for your equipment.
This approach helps avoid poor selections, torque loss, premature wear, vibration, overheating and production downtime. Our team supports you with the purchase, repair, refurbishment or replacement of your gearboxes.
Moteurs Gosselin is an EASA member and works according to recognized standards such as CSA, NEMA, IEC and IEEE.
When a gearbox shows signs of wear, the best solution is not always the same. In some cases, quick replacement is required. In others, repair or refurbishment may be more advantageous.
If you notice any of these signs, do not wait before contacting us. Our team can perform a diagnosis and recommend the best solution for your gearbox.

A gearbox can often be repaired if the housing, shafts, gears or main components can be restored. An inspection can confirm whether repair is more advantageous than a complete replacement.
Abnormal noise may be caused by worn bearings, lack of lubrication, damaged gears, misalignment, overload or oil contamination.
Yes, in many cases. However, torque, speed, reduction ratio, mounting type, dimensions, shaft, flange and compatibility with the existing equipment must be validated.
The reduction ratio directly affects output speed and available torque. An incorrect ratio can reduce equipment performance, cause overload or change how the machine operates.
The frequency depends on use, load, environment and the importance of the gearbox in your operations. Critical gearboxes should be included in a preventive maintenance program.
Ideally, prepare a photo of the nameplate, the type of gearbox, the symptoms observed, the application, the speed, the required torque, the mounting type and the level of urgency. This information helps speed up the analysis.
Yes. Moteurs Gosselin can work on the gearbox, integrated motor and associated components depending on the condition of the equipment and the needs of the application.
Replacement may be preferable if the damage is too extensive, if parts are difficult to obtain, if repair costs are too high or if an equivalent model can reduce downtime.
Looking for a new industrial gearbox, an equivalent model, a repair or a refurbishment? Contact Moteurs Gosselin and our team will help you choose the most reliable solution based on your equipment, application and level of urgency.
