Gearboxes adjust speed and torque in robotic systems, enabling motors to perform efficiently.
Understand gear ratios (speed vs torque tradeoff)
Properly align gears to avoid wear
Lubricate moving parts when required
Secure gearbox mounting to frame
Check for backlash and smooth rotation
Avoid overloading gears beyond design limits
