High-Performance Gearbox End Caps | Industrial-Grade Sealing Solutions for Gearboxes

What is a Gearbox End Cap?

A gearbox end cap (or gearbox end cover) is a critical component sealing the gearbox housing, protecting internal gears and bearings from contaminants while ensuring lubricant retention. Designed to withstand extreme pressures, vibrations, and temperatures, it acts as both a structural support and a barrier against environmental hazards.

Technical Specifications of Our Gearbox End Caps

Material & Manufacturing Process

• Materials:
  ✅ EN-GJL-250 Cast Iron – Ideal for heavy-load industrial gearboxes (mineral processing, conveyor systems).
  ✅ ASTM A536 Ductile Iron – High tensile strength (≥450 MPa) for wind turbine gearboxes.
  ✅ Aluminum ADC12 – Lightweight option for robotics and EV drivetrains.

• Precision Machining:

• 5-axis CNC machining achieves IT7 tolerance (bore diameter accuracy: ±0.02mm).

• Surface treatments: Phosphating (anti-corrosion), anodizing (aluminum models).

Sealing & Durability

• IP67/IP69K Protection – Blocks dust, water jets, and oil mist penetration.

• Temperature Range: -40°C to 180°C (certified per ISO 6336 fatigue testing).

• Pressure Relief Valve – Optional for high-speed gearboxes to prevent oil leakage.

Gearbox End Cap vs. End Cover: What’s the Difference?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, end caps typically refer to compact, bolted-on designs, whereas end covers may include larger flanges or integrated sensor mounts. We provide both solutions – contact u for technical clarification.
