TORQUE ARMs and HOLLOW SHAFT GEARBOXES
TORQUE ARMs and HOLLOW SHAFT GEARBOXES
(OP)
I've been told that a torque arm is used on a hallow shaft gearbox in order to prevent the gearbox from wanting to rotate along with a shaft. I don't understand how this can happen if the gearbox is face mounted on a conveyor (the mounting bolts should prevent rotation).
I've also been told a torque arm is strongly recommended on any hollow shaft gearbox. Can anyone explain why?

If the drive was face mounted to the conveyor, I would assume that the face mount would transmit all of the loads and not other restraint (i.e. torque arm) would be required.
Torque reaction arms can lend themselves for monitoring as mentioned.
