How to Select the Right Gearbox Supplier

Published by Troy Branham on Aug 25 ,2020

gearbox supplierIf you’re in the market for a right angle gearbox, you need to find a high quality gearbox supplier. But how can you determine whether someone is the “right” gearbox supplier? Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Look at their Past Work

Do they have a website? If so, check to see who they’ve worked with in the past and what they’ve accomplished.  If the work they’ve done in the past lines up with the requirements of your application, they might be the “right” gearbox supplier for you. Be sure to also check their reviews online, if they have any!

On the WC Branham website, we proudly display case studies of our previous work. For example, earlier this year, we wrote about building a custom gearbox for Stainless Systems, a client in the food processing industry.

Research their Product Line

Obviously, the first thing you’re going to do is confirm whether they manufacture the type of right angle gearbox you’re looking for. While you're at it, take note of their product selection. Do they offer multiple types of gearboxes? If so, that could mean they’re more flexible in their capabilities.

It’s also important to see if they offer any custom gearbox solutions. Even if the application you’re working on today doesn’t need it, you may need a custom gearbox down the line! Even if you don't need custom work, custom gear design capabilities mean they'll be able to deliver whatever you need out of a gearbox.

Here at W.C. Branham, we offer multiple types of right-angle gearboxes:

  • Insert-A-Shaft Series 10 Mini - Compact gearboxes with only 1.0 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft Series 15 - Gearboxes with 1.5 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft CRL Series 15 - Gearboxes for high cycle and continuous duty. Only 1.5 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft Series 20 - Gearboxes with 2.0 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft CRL Series 20 - Gearboxes for high cycle and continuous duty, 2.0 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft Series 22 - Gearboxes with 2.25 inch bore center line dimension, 2:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft CRL 22 - Gearboxes for high cycle and continuous duty, 2.25 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.
  • Insert-A-Shaft Series 25 - Gearboxes with 2.5 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 and 3:2 ratios.
  • Insert-A-Shaft CRL Series 25 - Gearboxes for high cycle and continuous duty, 2.5 inch bore center line dimension, 1:1 ratio.

  • Glide Right T-O-M S-R Wash Down - Gearboxes with 1:1 Ratio, Base Mount, Right Hand Rotation, 'A' Bore .750 in. x 'B' Bore .750 in.
  • Glide Right T-O-M S-R Metric - Gearboxes with 1:1 Ratio, Base Mount, Right Hand Rotation, 'A' Bore 20mm x 'B' Bore 20mm.
