The SH460-5 is a model of hydraulic excavator produced by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, a prominent manufacturer of construction machinery. The travel gearbox, also known as the travel reduction unit or
Final Drive, in the SH460-5 is a critical component responsible for providing power to the tracks, enabling the excavator to move forward and backward.
Here are some general features and specifications of the travel gearbox commonly found in excavators like the Sumitomo SH460-5:
1. **Type**: The travel gearbox is typically a hydraulic motor combined with a gearbox assembly. Hydraulic fluid under pressure is supplied to the motor, which converts the fluid's energy into rotational motion to drive the tracks.
2. **Ratio**: The gearbox in the travel gearbox provides the necessary gear reduction to deliver the required torque to the tracks. The gear ratio determines the relationship between the rotational speed of the hydraulic motor and the rotational speed of the tracks.
3. **Size and Power**: The size and power of the travel gearbox are matched to the specific requirements of the excavator it's intended for. Larger excavators like the SH460-5 require more powerful travel gearboxes to move efficiently.
4. **Durability**: Travel gearboxes are built to withstand the demanding conditions of excavator operation, including heavy loads, continuous use, and harsh working environments. High-quality materials and robust construction ensure the gearbox's reliability and longevity.
5. **Maintenance**: Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of the travel gearbox. This may include periodic inspections, lubrication, and replacement of worn parts as needed.
