Do you mean;

"in these 3 types of gear boxes

1-constant -mesh

2 .synchro-mesh

3- sliding mesh

Which of these gears are usually used?

spur gears, helical gear, bevel gears, the planetary gears, worm gears, cycloidal gears"

Is that the question? Yes? No?

Is the gearbox for a car? or a truck? or something else?

Is it large or small horsepower?

It for high torque, or high speed?

Is noise a problem? or must it be quiet?

I am sorry i should have written earlier that i need to know that bevel, helical, spur etc, they come under what type of gear i.e 1) sliding mesh gearbox , 2)constant-mesh gearbox, 3)synchromesh gearbox.

the gear box is for different type of machines used in Aluminium film foil plant.

the maximum kw is 800 kw and minimum is 30kw 3 phase induction motors all are Variable speed drives , the maximum speed varies for different motors between 3000 to 1300 rpm

should be quiet.

1) sliding mesh gearbox , 2)constant-mesh gearbox, 3)synchromesh gearbox.

You seem not to understand these are not 'types of gears'

These are 'gear change methods' - for changing ratios in a multi-ratio gearbox (like a car has)

What you need to do understand what 1), 2), 3) are.

It would be highly unusual to 'change gears' in an industrial process.

Probably a total disaster in a foil rolling process.
