The gearbox is a device which is used to transmit the power from one shaft to the other shaft within the required gear ratio. But, most of the times space limitation becomes the major problem of system. Also efficiency of the device is one of the important parameter. The device should have maximum efficiency. The conventional gear box gives us the required power and speed ratio but, they require the larger space for their working. Also they possess large number of parts and become bulky. In some applications, the space limitation is the important factor while designing the device. The aim of this project is to design a shaft mounted speed reducer which requires the less space and gives required speed ratio. In this thesis the analytical and numerical methods are used to design the parts of shaft mounted speed reducer. Also the experimentation is done to check validation of the work. The advantage of this project is, it requires less space and gives high efficiency. The maximum efficiency obtained by this speed reducer is 93.28%.
